What We Never Said (Version 2)

[intro] [soft guitar arpeggio + slow piano melody] [rain ambience, low thunder roll] [verse 1] You stood in the doorway But didn’t come in I reached with my silence You turned from within [verse 2] Your name on my lips But I swallowed the sound Now shadows collect Where love once was found [bridge] I kept the words in a jar Buried deep where you won’t see Now I bleed every letter Of what we’ll never be [chorus] What we never said Still screams in my head It echoes in the cold Where your warmth used to rest What we never said Still tears me to shreds We broke without a war We just left things for dead [guitar solo] [verse 3] I trace your goodbye In the dust on my skin The silence we chose Became punishment within [bridge] We were ghosts in love’s hall Never danced, only watched Now I sleep with regret Like a wedding dress botched [chorus] What we never said Still screams in my head It echoes in the cold Where your warmth used to rest What we never said Still tears me to shreds We broke without a war We just left things for dead [outro] [ambient hum + fading thunder] What we never said... Is the loudest thing left. What we never said Still screams in my head It echoes in the cold Where your warmth used to rest What we never said Still tears me to shreds We broke without a war We just left things for dead ! (We just left things.... for dead...). [guitar solo outro] [end song]
