Sitting in the dark inside my room
Thinking of things that make me think of you
Get out a pen and hum a tune
Poor out my heart and spill my thoughts until I'm blue
I want to say what's on my mind
But I don't want my scribbled words to waste your time
Want you to tell me that you're mine
But that's gotta start from something
And I'm starting off with nothing

I'll write a love letter to you
Crumple it up and throw it out and start brand new
Write something dumb and overused
I'll write it down and throw it out
So you don't know the truth

Putting pen to paper's harder than it sounds
Because what if what I think is not how it comes out
I get all flustered just by reading it out loud
Scared I might misstate, misspell, or mispronounce
I'm tired of keeping secrets
I'm tired of being patient
I'm tired of waiting for an unrealistic moment
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna be your plan
I wanna be with you
I hope you understand

I'll write a love letter to you
Crumple it up and throw it out and start brand new
Write something dumb and overused
I'll write it down and throw it out
So you don't know the truth
