Lyrics Rex Orange County

Rex Orange County

Never Had the Balls

I was lost, felt nothing at all

But I'm coming back now

Yeah, I'm in the background

No need to react now that everything's done

(But let me say)

I thought it would be simple enough

And I had to grow up

Just to learn all the ways that it's not

But I never thought that I'd wanna call it quits

In my whole life

I never aimed to feel confused

I blame myself to tell the truth

But now I know that

Everything's hard when you're living in the dark

And you don't even wanna see it through

If that had to be the way I'd be feeling for days

And I knew it back then, I probably wouldn't do it

But I never got the chance to tell you

I never had the balls to tell you

No, I never had the balls to tell you

I did everything that I could

But still I was helpless

I shouldn't waste my precious time

On anybody living off of mine

And now I know that

Things are getting better

I can live like this forever

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I found my own way out

Was to open my mouth

And be honest

I had to go and do it, yeah

This could be the best decision

That you ever make

Please don't be afraid

She reassures me

I know it's hard to play pretend

I promise you it's due to end

And winners never quit, you know

So quitters never win

(It's only getting better now for you)

I'm your man if you're looking for good times

Feel amazing and I'm on my way home, yeah

I'm finally in the zone

I heard the word 'Goodbye'

And felt surprised that I wasn't even sad

In the slightest

My mind was made up, but

If I had to live a life only being polite

I'd be giving in

I'm never gonna do it

I'll never get the chance to tell you

I never had the balls to tell you

No, I never had the balls to tell you, now

(Whoa-oh-oh)

(Balls to tell you)

(Balls to tell you)

(I never got the chance to tell you)

(I never had the balls to tell you)

(Balls to tell you)

(But I never got the chance to tell you)

(I never had the balls to tell you)

I didn't

(Balls to tell you)
