[Verse 1] I folded my pride in half Sat with it on my chest Your name was in my throat And I still failed the test I smiled like I was fine Kept my hands in my lap But every little lie I wore Came loosening right back [Pre-Chorus] And I kept hearing it That quiet little truth I need to tell you now Before it gets to you My heart got heavy, baby Heavy in the dark I can't carry this alone Not with you in my heart [Chorus] I got to confess I got to confess I kept you in the dark Now I want what's left I got to confess I got to confess I love you more than words And I hate how long I ran (Confess it) (Confess it) Say it plain, say it true [Verse 2] I left a voicemail ring Then deleted the line Held your picture in my palm Like I could change with time But every road back home Led me straight to this Standing at your door With my whole soul in my fist [Pre-Chorus] And I kept hearing it That quiet little truth I need to tell you now Before it gets to you My heart got heavy, baby Heavy in the dark I can't carry this alone Not with you in my heart [Chorus] I got to confess I got to confess I kept you in the dark Now I want what's left I got to confess I got to confess I love you more than words And I hate how long I ran (Confess it) (Confess it) Say it plain, say it true [Bridge] If I shook when I said it Would you still hear me out? If I broke right in your doorway Would you hold me now? I don't need perfect timing I just need your eyes Let me lay it at your feet Let me tell you why [Final Chorus] I got to confess I got to confess I kept you in the dark Now I want what's left I got to confess I got to confess I love you more than words And I hate how long I ran (Confess it) (Confess it) Let it heal, let it through I got to confess I got to confess This heart is telling on me And it's telling you the truth
