All the Things I Wasn't

Hours of hiding spent apart

The wall was all we'd shared

About the closest you could get

About all I would bear

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't

Could have made this big a difference

To all the things you are

Years of listening

Taking in to one day take away

From all the guilt and pity I could barely keep at bay

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't

Could have made this big a difference

To all the things you are

Time apart I'd realized

A name's the most we shared

Unlike you there's no way I could spend forever there

Don't tell me all the things I wasn't

Would have made this big a difference

To all the things you are
