Words I Never Said

Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 2025 Please check out my YouTube channel if you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I don’t know where you are tonight, But I’ve been strummin’ here all night. This old guitar knows all my pain, Each chord I play still speaks your name. I wish you never chose to go, But pride runs deep when feelings show. I’ve only got this melody, To try to bring you back to me. [Chorus] I’ll pour my soul out in this rhyme, Got nothin' left but borrowed time. If you're out there, and hear this play, I hope it pulls your heart my way. Since I can't reach you face to face, I'll try steel strings and 'lectric bass. If I can't hold you, then instead I'll try these words I never said. [Verse 2] I see your face in every line, Your mem'ries dancin’ through my mind. With every chord the pain gets worse, While lyrics bleed through every verse. My fans won’t know what this song means, But you might hear it in between. And if your heart still hears my own, Perhaps you’ll know you’re not alone. [Chorus] I’ll pour my soul out in this rhyme, Got nothin' left but borrowed time. If you're out there, and hear this play, I hope it pulls your heart my way. Since I can't reach you face to face, I'll try steel strings and 'lectric bass. If I can't hold you, then instead I'll try these words I never said. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] You always loved the quiet songs, The ones where pain always belongs. I never knew how deep it ran, 'Til I was left a broken man. Now there's just silence on my phone, And I still feel so damn alone. So if you hear this melody, I hope it brings you back to me. [Chorus] I’ll pour my soul out in this rhyme, Got nothin' left but borrowed time. If you're out there, and hear this play, I hope it pulls your heart my way. Since I can't reach you face to face, I'll try steel strings and 'lectric bass. If I can't hold you, then instead I'll try these words I never said. [Instrumental Intro]
