She has no problem with secrets 
She knows how to keep them 
She never felt the need to let them show 
And I've had no trouble with speaking 
Or trusting my instincts 
That maybe this is one that I should know 
But as I'm waiting there 
The devil on my shoulder stares 
Laughing that the one thing I can't get 
Is what I need 

She, She is the words that I can't find 
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
And I couldn't speak 
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
All of my chances swim like sinking ships 
This time it's it 
I'll drown or make her mine 

My vocal chords have been fighting 
My mouth likes to spite me 
It never says the words that come to mind 
I brought a stick to a gun fight 
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied 
I run but I can't hide what's always there is 

She, She is the words that I can't find 
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
And I couldn't speak 
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
All of my chances swim like sinking ships 
This time it's it 
I'll drown or make her mine 

I can see these things I'd do 
But never seem to follow through 
She, She is the words that I can't find 
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 

She, She is the words that I can't find 
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
And I couldn't speak 
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
All of my chances swim like sinking ships 
This time it's it 
I'll drown or make her mine 

I couldn't speak 
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
All of my chances swim like sinking ships 
This time it's it 
I'll drown or make her mine
