[Verse 1]
What I need is for you to try
It's a sober I love you like my own
It's a look that I don't overthink when you call my bluff
It's a Friday above the law
It's a call when I don't wanna talk it out
It's a long list of all my faults that you don't recognize
[Chorus]
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't, but it does
And I can't change that
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't but it does
And it always has
[Verse 2]
What I need is just one clear smirk
It's a place I can go when I get off work
It's a contribution to something bigger than me
It's an action without a plan
It's a joke where I don't have to scan the room
It's the person I am that I don't feel pressured to be
[Chorus]
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't, but it does
And I can't change that
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't but it does
And it always has
[Bridge]
Closure
Acceptance that I cannot ever change
Closure
I will take my imperfection to my grave
It's the patience I don't have
It's the thought that you could ever love me back
It's the way that I am when you're there
It's the way that I play with my hair
How the words that I say seem to hover in the air
[Chorus]
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't, but it does
And I can't change that
How you feel
When I speak
Means a lot to me
I know that it shouldn't, I know
I know that it shouldn't, but it does
And it always has
