[Verse 1] I kept your photo in my shoe Walked around the truth Acting like I was brand new When my heart knew you [Verse 2] I wore my smile like a mask Laughed a little too fast But every word I meant to ask Kept falling through the past [Pre-Chorus] Tonight I can't pretend I been holding back again If you look at me too long I might break right open [Chorus] I got a confession I need you, baby I got a confession I was scared you'd leave me Tell me, can you hold this? (tell me, can you hold this?) My hands been shaking My pride been breaking [Verse 3] I left your name on my tongue Like a song half-sung Every room I walked in Still felt like you were there [Pre-Chorus] So I'm stepping to the line With a trembling little spine If my voice comes out unkind Know my soul is on the table [Chorus] I got a confession I need you, baby I got a confession I was scared you'd leave me Tell me, can you hold this? (tell me, can you hold this?) My hands been shaking My pride been breaking [Bridge] I don't want perfect I want true I don't want armor I want you If I say it plain If I say it loud Will you stay? Will you stay right now? [Final Chorus] I got a confession I need you, baby I got a confession I was scared you'd leave me Tell me, can you hold this? (tell me, can you hold this?) My hands been shaking My pride been breaking I got a confession (I got a confession) I got a confession (need you, baby)
