Words I Couldn't Say

In a book in a box in the closet

In a line in a song I once heard

In a moment on a front porch late one June

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tips of my fingers

There it was on the tip of my tongue

There you were and I had never been that far

There it was, the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away

What do I do now that you're gone?

No backup plan, no second chance and no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

There's a rain that'll never stop fallin'

There's a wall that I tried to take down

What I should've said just wouldn't pass my lips

So I held back and now we've come to this

And it's too late now

What do I do now that you're gone?

No backup plan, no second chance and no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

I should've found a way to tell you how I felt

Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself

What do I do now that you're gone?

No backup plan, no second chance and no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone? What do I do, what do I say?

No backup plan, no second chance and no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone? What do I do, what do I say?

No backup plan, no second chance and no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say
