So don’t take it the wrong way
Only you know what I mean
When I'm trying to be honest and innocent but to no avail
Cause my words don’t echo In truth
But only you know
Only you know
Only you would know
Only you know what I'm trying to say
When I'm saying it the wrong way
Only you know
And I ramble profusely and incoherently
On and on
I mumble at my body's discretion
To the frustration and strain of every one
I am silent as I lead them to confusion
So misunderstandings are only natural
Even though my words are thoughtful
They're thoughts that only you can reach
Only you know
Only you would know
Only you know what I'm trying to say
When I'm saying it the wrong way
Only you know
The words have taken so much
So much from me
Limited my reach of humanity
Taken the courage I deserve from birth
Discredited my notions and innocence
Then left me with filters, wounded pride
And absolutely no ego
But you already know
Only you could know
Only you would know
The thought and meaning behind what I am saying
So that’s why I can say this to you
With no fear of my words being unclear
Only you know
Only you would know
Only you know what I'm trying to say
When I'm saying it the wrong way
Only you know
Only you know what I meant when I said
I love watching you sleeping

Obvious?
Obvious, well I think so. This is person who finds it difficult to put into words what they feel for their lover, but the lover, we assume, understands. I like this and at the same time I feel it may be hard to really convey the idea as a song. Do you have a melody for it? Thanks for entering my contest. I really appreciate it.
