say it now
I hope you hear this 'cause I'm about to say it now Guess I'm to blame and it's just a shame Cause I had the chance to tell you what you meant But I lived my life thinking I had time And that in my mind I'd get to it  Now you've gone away, not a single day goes by When I don't think about it Your spirit's all around, I can say it now I hope you hear this  Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way And it ain't the same Cause you never ever got to hear me say  That I love you, 'cause I waited too late So oh, I've got to tell everybody Don't make the same mistake  [Chorus] It's alright to say I love you out loud And it's all good, so don't you keep it inside Let it out, do it today No no no, don't you wait  Cause it just might be too late To say I love you  Don't walk a mile inside my shoes Cause if you do, you're gonna regret it Don't take it lightly thinking they might be  Here or there tomorrow  Why you want to wait, communicate Don't assume that they already know How much, how much you're really feeling And you really, really love them  Now it's a shame that I found out the hard way And it ain't the same  Cause you never ever got to hear me say That I love you, 'cause I waited too late It's like I would tell anybody Don't make the same mistake like I did  [Chorus]  Those three words make all the difference in the world You might wait and miss your chance So don't be scared to say what you're feeling You can't turn back the hands of time If you get the chance, do it right  Let it out, say it now Say it  [Chorus: x2]  I'm ready  Ready to shout it out, shout it out loud So ready  Oh how I wish I could tell you right now But I waited too late  So today I won't make the same mistake, no I won't do it, and if I get the chance I'll say it  [Chorus: x3]  It's alright
