What I Didn't Say

Secrets told in the pictures on your skin

Hours fade into days that never end

I see myself reflected in your eyes

And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies

So I let you go

And I watch you leave

And I hold my breath

So you don't hear me scream

When you walk away

But the words are only in my head

It's not what I said

It's what I didn't say

Is she everything you wanted her to be?

Yeah, I bet she never breaks your heart like me

So it's one more night I cover up with you

And I hate myself for what I didn't do

So I let you go

And I watch you leave

And I hold my breath

So you don't hear me scream

When you walk away

But the words are only in my head

It's not what I said

It's what I didn't say

Should've known better, now

All I have left is a permanent stain

The only part of you I get to keep forever

To prove I lived this pain

Maybe I was never as smart as I thought

Maybe we can never be as good as we want

Maybe you just didn't need me enough

Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love like this

Like this

Secrets told in the silence of my sin

And I'm the one who loses in the end

So I let you go

And I watch you leave

And I hold my breath

So you don't hear me scream

When you walk away

But the words are only in my head

It's not what I said

It's what I didn't say
