Faking the dream, the true American grit
I'll admit, I'm a bit of a mess
'Cause I'm fragile and tired, wounded and weak
And my words are a useless defense
You put your palm out and spit, like a proud idiot
Gave a speech, and then charmed me to bed
If only I could exist without it leaving my lips
And my touch was enough to confess

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself

Well, the anthem is dead, so I send you a song
To believe, with a hand on my chest
But I don't think it's funny, no honey
I'm truly sincere, and I'm trying my best
Arms over armor, you're going in deep
Fell asleep with our bodies undressed
It's so hard to let go, it's so hard to let in
But you seduce what I always suppress

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I love you, I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I love you, I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself
