I kept the letter folded in a drawer beside my bed A thousand lines I never wrote, a thousand things unsaid I carried every moment like a weight I couldn’t name And told myself that someday I would try to do the same But someday turns to never When you wait for perfect time These are the words I never sent The ones I held behind my silence The truth I thought could wait forever Until forever slipped away These are the words I never sent If I could place them in your heartbeat I'd speak them now without the trembling Before the light began to fade I pictured you unfolding it on some forgotten day Reading every fragile hope I never found the nerve to say But fear became my handwriting, and doubt my only ink I let the days run past me while I stood right on the brink I thought there’d be a moment When the courage would appear These are the words I never sent The ones I held behind my silence The truth I thought could wait forever Until forever slipped away These are the words I never sent If I could place them in your heartbeat I'd speak them now without the trembling Before the light began to fade If I could send a message To the life I left behind It'd say: Don’t wait to speak your truth Don’t let fear steal all your time These are the words I never sent Don’t let your love go unspoken Don’t save the things that truly matter For a day that never comes These are the words I never sent Speak them while the air is warm Before regret becomes your burden And silence leaves you numb
