Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You drop those letters on me hard
I'm not ready for this part
We're having fun, ain't that enough?
And labels only mess it up
[Chorus]
'Cause now we're lying here, it's late at night
You say you love me, girl, I don't know why
It might be too late to apologize
Baby, I can't just say it though
[PostChorus]
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you—
[Verse 2]
Teardrops on your steering wheel (Steering wheel)
Broken hearts are hard to heal
Wish I could tell you what you want to hear
But I can't control the way I feel, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause now we're lying here, it's late at night
You say you love me, girl, I don't know why (Don't know why)
It might be too late to apologize
Baby, I can't just say it though (Uh)
[PostChorus]
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you—
[Refrain]
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
[Chorus]
'Cause now we're lying here, it's late at night (Late at night)
You say you love me, girl, I don't know why (Don't know why)
It might be too late to apologize (Apologize)
Baby, I can't just say it though
[PostChorus]
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you when I don't?
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
How can I tell you that I love you—
[Refrain]
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
How can I tell you, tell you?
How can I tell you? Oh
