Words I Couldn't Say

In a book, in a box, in the closet

In a line, in a song I once heard

In a moment on a front porch late one June

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tip of my fingers

There it was on the tip of my tongue

There you were and I had never been that far

There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away

What do I do now that you're gone?

No back up plan, no second chance

And no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

There's a rain that will never stop fallin'

There's a wall that I tried to take down

What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips

So I held back and now we've come to this

And it's too late now

What do I do now that you're gone?

No back up plan, no second chance

And no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

I should have found a way to tell you how I felt

Now the one I'm telling is myself

What do I do now that you're gone?

No back up plan, no second chance

And no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say
