Out Loud

[Verse 1]

First thing you should know about me

I've always been a man of my word

Secondly please know that I take everything

For what it's worth

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Now it's 3 a.m. and the bars are all closed

And you come over alone

'Cause you were just thinking of me

Saying how since we've been together

The world has been so much better

Then you lean over and tell me you love me

[Chorus]

You've been patiently awaiting

For me to say it, say it out loud

And I want to, 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling

Every word is straight from my heart

If I speak it, best believe it

That I mean it, if I say it out loud

[Verse 2]

I've been there before I took it way too fast

Hardest lesson I ever learned

Know you can throw it out and take it back

It's such an easy way to get burned

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh, I want the best for you

I got so much respect for you

I will never hurt you, my dear

I'm now trying to build this trust

And I don't wanna fill it up

With the things that you think you want to hear

[Chorus]

You've been patiently awaiting

For me to say it, say it out loud

And I want to, 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling

Every word is straight from my heart

If I speak it, best believe it

That I mean it, if I say it out loud

[Bridge]

Three little words, three little words

Three little words, so complicated

Three little words, three little words

Three little words, so complicated

[Chorus]

You've been patiently awaiting (Awaiting)

For me to say it, say it out loud

And I want to (Ooh), 'cause I want you

But I need time, time to come around (Come around)

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause when I tell you everything I'm feeling (Ooh)

Every word is straight from my heart (Heart)

If I speak it, best believe it

That I need it, if I say it out loud (Loud)

[Outro]

Now it's patiently awaiting

For me to say it, if I say it out loud
