[Verse 1] I kept your letter Pressed in a book Beneath the recipe cards And the folding I forgot to look Your name on the envelope Still bent in my hand Like the day you asked me If I knew where we stand [Pre-Chorus] I smiled and lied Said I was fine But every little corner Still calls your line [Chorus] I should have told you I was scared to lose you I should have told you My heart was true (heart was true) I kept it locked up Now it's breaking through I should have told you I was in love with you [Verse 2] The porch light flickered On our old street And I swear I smelled rain And your cologne on the seat Mama said some truths Come late to the tongue But I was all shadow Till the damage was done [Pre-Chorus] Now I hear your laugh In a passing car And I taste that moment Like a leftover scar [Chorus] I should have told you I was scared to lose you I should have told you My heart was true (heart was true) I kept it locked up Now it's breaking through I should have told you I was in love with you [Bridge] If you ever wonder What I meant that night I was standing at the doorway Holding back my whole life You were waiting easy I was shaking slow And the words I needed Wouldn't let me go [Chorus] I should have told you I was scared to lose you I should have told you My heart was true (heart was true) I kept it locked up Now it's breaking through I should have told you I was in love with you [Outro] Pressed flowers In an old book Pressed flowers And the love I couldn't look at
