You Can Never Say

Tidal waves are crashing down upon me
And I know it's time to go
I feel the weight of the world now on my shoulders
And I know it's time to go
Look at my face, and all the lines you never seemed to trace
My, my mistake, was to try and open up your mouth
And somehow make the words come out but
[Chorus]
You can never say the things you feel
No you can never say the things you feel
So how am I supposed to know what's real
When you can never say the things you feel
Oh you can never say what I need to hear
No you can never say what I need to hear
That's why I have to let you go my dear
Cause you can never say what I need to hear now
You turn the page, meticulously write down what you'll say,
Oh it's your way
You go and play, you let the legions in on all your pain,
Oh it's your way
Oh simple words, that are simply longing to be heard
But what, what can I do?
Tell me why is it so hard for you
To break the skin and let me through
[Chorus]
You can never say the things you feel
No you can never say the things you feel
So how am I supposed to know what's real
When you can never say the things you feel
Oh you can never say what I need to hear
No you can never say what I need to hear
That's why I have to let you go my dear
Cause you can never say what I need to hear now
So, so here I lay,
And I'm hoping maybe someday you might change
But you, you stay the same.
You have nothing left to say
So that's my cue to walk away
[Chorus]
You can never say the things you feel
No you can never say the things you feel
So how am I supposed to know what's real
When you can never say the things you feel
Oh you can never say what I need to hear
No you can never say what I need to hear
That's why I have to let you go my dear
Cause you can never say what I need to hear now (2x)
