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 tip 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-
Chorus:
What do I do now that you're gone
No back up 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 falling
There's a wall that I've 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-
Repeat chorus
Are the words I couldn't say
I should have found a way
To tell you how I felt
Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself
Repeat Chorus
What do I do, What do I say
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
