say it first
Role Model Lyrics

Always been one for
I have always been someone who suppresses my thoughts and feelings.

Biting my tongue 'til
I restrain myself from saying what I really want to say.

Blood starts to fill my mouth
But eventually, it becomes too much to hold back and I am forced to speak up.

And, oh, how romantic
It may seem romantic to be with someone who shares this trait, but it can also cause problems in communication.

We both like to panic
When faced with a difficult conversation, we tend to become anxious and avoid the situation.

When there's something to talk about
Especially when the topic is an important one that needs to be addressed.

I wanna say you feel the same
I want to express my feelings to you and hope that you feel the same way.

I hesitate 'cause I'm afraid you don't
But I am hesitant because I am scared that you may not reciprocate my feelings.

Wish I could get inside your head
I wish I could understand your thoughts and feelings better.

And write what we been thinkin' on a note
So that we can communicate with each other more effectively and express our thoughts and feelings freely.

I'll say it in the shower
I will practice saying what I want to say in the shower where I am alone, to overcome my hesitation.

And I'll say it when I'm drunk
I may also gain the courage to say what I want to say when I have lowered inhibitions due to alcohol.

I'll remind you every hour how I say it just for fun
I will keep reminding you how I feel because it brings me joy to express my love for you.

I say it when you wake up
I want to make sure that the first thing you hear in the morning is how much I love and care for you.

While you're putting on your makeup
Even when you are busy with your daily routine, I want you to know that I am always here for you and love you.

I always finish last but you know I say it back
I may not say it first, but I will always make sure to tell you that I love you in return.

Let's pop some champagne
Let's celebrate our love for each other.

And rip off the band-aid
Let's stop avoiding important conversations and address any issues we may have.

It's easy when we're fucked up
It may be easier to be vulnerable and express ourselves when we are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Now would it be tragic
But what if it backfires and has negative consequences?

Would it ruin the magic
Will our relationship be negatively affected if we change the way we communicate and express our emotions?

If I stole the words off your tongue
If I were to take the first step and express my feelings, would it make it easier for you to do the same?

You say it first
Regardless, I still want you to be the one to say it first if you feel the same way.

('Cause you know I say it back)
Because you can always count on me to say it back and love you unconditionally.

First
Even if I may hesitate or take longer to express my feelings, I still want you to take the first step in telling me how you feel.

You say it first
Because hearing you say it for the first time will mean everything to me.

First
And I will always be here to love and support you, no matter what.

You say it first
You are the one who holds the power to make our love official, and I am eager to hear your response.
