Words I Couldn't Say

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I let it all slip away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

There's a rain that'll never stop fallin'

There's a wall that I've 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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And it's too late now

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Are the words I couldn't say

[Bridge]

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

Now the only one I’m tellin’ is myself

[Chorus]

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 (what do I do)

[Outro]

What do I do (now that you're gone)

What do I say (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
