listening to: words get in the way - gloria estefan & the miami sound machine

for an old friend who's stuck by me these years.

............
i realize you're seeing someone new
i don't believe she knows you like i do
your temperamental moody side,
the one you always try to hide from me

but i know when you have something on your mind
you've been trying to tell me for the longest time
and before you break my heart in two
there's something i've been trying to say to you
but the words get in the way

there's so much i want to say
but it's locked deep inside
and if you look in my eyes
we might fall in love again

i won't even start to cry,
and before we say goodbye
i tried to say i love you
but the words got in the way
