3. The Words We Never Said

[Verse 1] There’s a photograph beside the window From a summer neither one of us forgets You were laughing with your head thrown backwards Before the years were heavy with regrets We were young enough to think that love was easy Strong enough to hide when we were scared We could talk until the morning found us But somehow missed the things that really mattered [Pre-Chorus] Maybe silence felt much safer then But I would give anything To have that moment back again [Chorus] For all the words we never said All the nights we turned away instead All the times I should have held you When I let the silence win For every truth we kept inside Every tear we tried so hard to hide I would lay my heart before you And say it all tonight For all the words The words we never said [Verse 2] I remember standing in the hallway Both of us too proud to make a sound You were waiting for me to come closer I was waiting for you to turn around We were good at building walls between us Brick by brick and day by day Till the space became much bigger Than the little things we couldn’t say [Pre-Chorus] Maybe time won’t give us back the years But I’m standing here And I’m done with hiding from the fear [Chorus] For all the words we never said All the nights we turned away instead All the times I should have held you When I let the silence win For every truth we kept inside Every tear we tried so hard to hide I would lay my heart before you And say it all tonight For all the words The words we never said [Bridge] I should have told you I was frightened I should have told you I was lost I should have said that life without you Would be more than I could bear to lose So here I am with nothing hidden No defence and no disguise You were always more than a memory You were always part of my life [Final Chorus] For all the words we never said For every road that led us here again For all the times I should have held you I am reaching for you now For every truth we kept inside There is still a chance to make it right I will lay my heart before you There is nothing left to hide And if tomorrow comes too quickly At least you’ll know before it ends All the love behind the words The words we never said [Outro] All the words I should have said I’m saying now
