I never said I needed you

If I leave you quietly Would you still hear my name in the wind? Would you know I loved you deeper Than I ever let you in? If I fold my hands and walk Like I never meant to stay It’s only ‘cause I loved you Too much to make you stay And I won’t cry where you can see me Too much to make you stay And I won’t cry where you can see me I’ll save the tears for later on You gave me something I can carry Even when the days are gone If you ever doubt you meant something Look for me in memory I’ll be the hush before your heart breaks I’ll be the quiet when you breathe If I whisper one last word Would it hold more than goodbye? Would you feel it settle soft Like snow just before the sky And if I smile so you don’t worry Know it doesn’t mean I’m fine It just means I’m trying To give you peace, not time And I won’t cry where you can see me I’ll save the tears for later on You gave me something I can carry Even when the days are gone If you ever doubt you meant something Look for me in memory I’ll be the hush before your heart breaks I’ll be the quiet when you breathe I never said I needed you But I did In ways I never could explain So if I’m gone Don’t think I left I just learned to love you From far away And
