    Lyrics
    Words get trapped in my mind
    Sorry if I don't take the time
    To feel the way I do
    'Cause the first day you came into my life
    Time ticks around you
    But then I need your voice
    As a key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me

    So tell me when it's time to say I love you

    All I want is you to understand
    That when I take your hand
    Its 'cause I want to
    We are all born in a world of doubt
    But there's not doubt
    I figured out I love you

    I feel lonely for
    All the lovers that will never
    Take the time to say
    What is really on their mind
    Instead, they just hide away
    Yet they'll never have
    Someone like you to guide them
    Or help along the way

    Or tell them when its time to say I love you
    So tell me when its time to say I love you
