Trying To Say I Love You

there was something in your smile
that made me nervous
that made me feel just like a child
and I want to get it right this time

it was something in your eyes
a little sadness
a little madness that I like
and I want to get it right this time
I know I've got to get it right

I'm trying to say I love you
I'm trying to say I love you
it's been a while since I said so

there's been something on my mind
that you should know
before you pack your things and go
and I want to get it right this time
I know I've got to get it right

I'm trying to say I love you
i'm trying to say I love you
I'm trying to say I love you
and it's been a while since I said so
