Words We’ve Left Unsaid

[Verse 1] If I could bottle up your laughter, I’d keep it close for darker days. If I could trade my shadow’s chapter, I’d give you light to find your way. I said I’d be right back someday, But war don’t honor what we pray. Now I’m a ghost inside this bed, Sleeping on the words I never sing [Chorus] I never told you how the world can break, How love’s the only vow we make. I never said that fear’s okay, Or that tears can wash the pain away. You’ll hear my heart in what you play — In every song I didn’t sing [Verse 2] Remember mornings, cereal and rain, You’d laugh like thunder, call my name. I wore the uniform, but truth be told, The bravest part of me was home. I tried to guard you from my dread, But silence took the words instead. Now in your dreams, I hope you read, All that I meant but couldn’t speak. [Chorus] I never told you how the world can break, How love’s the only vow we make. I never said that fear’s okay, Or that tears can wash the pain away. You’ll hear my heart in what you play — In every song I didn’t sing [Bridge – Letter to Them] So when the night feels too long, And you wonder where I’ve gone, Just close your eyes and breathe me in — I’m the whisper on your skin. I’m the voice inside your head, The warmth beneath the things I said. I’m every word you thought I’d say, Still finding you along the way. [Final Chorus – Resolution] I never told you how the world can break, But love’s the one thing death can’t take. Don’t be afraid to live, to sing To speak the words I didn’t say. And if you ever lose your way — Sing the song I didn’t sing
