If I had one more minute, just a single breath of time I’d pull you close and tell you what I hid between the lines Not the careful words I practiced, not the ones I thought you'd need But the truth that lived inside me, buried deeper than my fear I thought there’d be a moment Where the right words would appear The last thing I’d tell you Is I loved you more than living More than all the roads I followed More than years I let slip by The last thing I’d tell you Is I’m sorry for the distance For every day I made you wonder If your heart was worth my time Your silhouette is fading in the corners of my mind And I would trade a lifetime for the chance to press rewind You carried all my silence like a weight you shouldn’t bear While I ran from my own feelings that were always waiting there I thought you somehow knew it Even when I never spoke The last thing I’d tell you Is I loved you more than living More than all the roads I followed More than years I let slip by The last thing I’d tell you Is I’m sorry for the distance For every day I made you wonder If your heart was worth my time If heaven hears confession Then let this be the one I never meant to leave you Without knowing you were home The last thing I’d tell you Is you saved me without trying You were every quiet heartbeat That I never learned to name The last thing I’d tell you Is don’t wait to speak your meaning Love the ones who walk beside you Before life steals them away
