Things I Didn’t Say
[Verse 1]
You left your mug on the shelf
Blue ring, chipped on the edge
I moved it twice today
Still saw you there instead
Your name on my phone
Still glowing like a dare
I typed and erased it slow
Like I had all night to care
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a speech
It never made it out
I held my breath
And swallowed every doubt
All those words
Stacked up in my chest
Now they shake
With the things I didn’t say
[Chorus]
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
I let them slip away
Now they keep me up
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
You were right there
And I froze up
(Things I didn’t say)
[Verse 2]
I saw your coat by the door
For a second, I forgot
How a room can feel so full
When nobody’s in it, love
I wanted to tell you stay
Wanted to beg, wanted to fight
But the truth sat on my tongue
Heavy every single night
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a speech
It never made it out
I held my breath
And swallowed every doubt
All those words
Stacked up in my chest
Now they shake
With the things I didn’t say
[Chorus]
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
I let them slip away
Now they keep me up
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
You were right there
And I froze up
(Things I didn’t say)
[Bridge]
Maybe that was pride
Maybe that was fear
Maybe I was breaking
Before I made it clear
If I get one more chance
I won’t let it go to waste
I’ll say your name out loud
Before it turns to ache
[Final Chorus]
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
I let them slip away
Now they keep me up
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
If you hear this now
I meant every word
Things I didn’t say
Things I didn’t say
You were right there
And I froze up
(Things I didn’t say)
