[Verse 1] I kept it tucked in my sleeve Like a note I never read Every time you got too close My whole heart wanted to leave I laughed like I was fine In my pretty little shoes But the truth kept tapping out It was always you [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to play it cool Tried to act like I don’t know But my hands shake when you smile And my guard just falls so slow [Chorus] I gotta tell you now I’m falling hard, no doubt I kept it locked away But it won’t stay shut down I want you, I do, I do (oh, I do, I do) I want you, I do, I do And that’s my heartfelt truth [Verse 2] There’s a ring still in my throat From the words I never said Every joke I made at midnight Was my fear in a red dress You’d catch me looking back When I swore I’d look ahead Now I’m standing in the open With my heart up in my hands [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to play it cool Tried to act like I don’t know But my feet move when you’re near Like they heard that old soul glow [Chorus] I gotta tell you now I’m falling hard, no doubt I kept it locked away But it won’t stay shut down I want you, I do, I do (oh, I do, I do) I want you, I do, I do And that’s my heartfelt truth [Bridge] If I blush, let me blush If I shake, let me shake I’d rather be a little scared Than live with what I fake So here it is, baby Plain and bare and real My heart was built for this And now you know the deal [Chorus] I gotta tell you now I’m falling hard, no doubt I kept it locked away But it won’t stay shut down I want you, I do, I do (oh, I do, I do) I want you, I do, I do And that’s my heartfelt truth
