[Verse 1]

You can show emotion but not too much

You either care too deep or not enough

Try not to fall or trust too quickly

If you follow his lead that'll make him happy

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't

Could say what I want but maybe I won't

[Chorus]

Is it too soon to tell you that I love you?

If I'm the one who says it first

Would that really be the worst?

I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth

Caught between the holding back

And worrying how you'll react

If I said I want you bad

Would that make me desperate?

(Oh) Oh

[Verse 2]

You know it's a risking to be yourself

And to be honest with somebody else

I fight like hell not to come off strong

But maybe all these rules, they all got it wrong

Somewhere down the line I fell in line

Learned how to hide

Forgot how to speak my mind

[Chorus]

Is it too soon to tell you that I love you?

If I'm the one who says it first

Would that really be the worst?

'Cause I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth

Caught between the holding back

And worrying how you'll react

If I said I want you bad

Would that make me desperate?

(Oh) Oh

[Bridge]

You know it's a fine line

Between honest and reckless

(Oh, oh)

I don't wanna speak too soon

'Cause I might wreck this, wreck this

(Oh, oh)

[Chorus]

Is it too soon to tell you that I love you

If I'm the one who says it first

Would that really be the worst?

I'm so used to hiding from the whole truth

Caught between the holding back

And worrying how you'll react

If I said I want you bad

If I said I want you bad

Would that make me desperate?

(Oh) Oh

[Outro]

'Cause baby, I'm not desperate

Does that make me desperate?
