You feared a love you couldn't earn,

So you traded truth for pride.

I was still a wide-open door,

Till I saw who stood by your side—

A page-turn slice, silent and deep.

—-

I felt the truth burning under my skin,

But I swallowed it back again and again.

Now I’m drowning in what I didn’t say,

And it’s breaking me wide open.

—-

I am hurting, I am breaking

From words I never said.

I loved you, but the silence stayed

And you’re gone from me instead

I can’t outrun the sunset,

I can’t call back your name.

A prisoner to what I’ve done—

I can’t bring you back again.

——

I wish I’d found the nerve to speak,

Before the silence turned us cold.

My heart was ready, but my voice was weak,

And fear was all I chose to hold.

——

I felt the truth burning under my skin,

But I swallowed it back again and again.

Now I’m drowning in what I didn’t say,

And it’s breaking me wide open.

——

I am hurting, I am breaking

From words I never said.

I loved you, but the silence stayed

And you’re gone from me instead

I can’t outrun the sunset,

I can’t call back your name.

a prisoner to my own regret,

I can’t bring you back again.

(Ooohhh)

—-

It wasn't a lack of love—just fear,

You couldn’t see the "you" I knew.

I kept the water way too clear,

Now I’m the one who’s falling through.

whooooaaahh ooohhh

—-

I am hurting,

I am breaking

From the words I couldn’t say.

I loved you, but the silence stayed

And it carried you away.

I can’t outrun the sunset,

I can’t call back your name.

a prisoner to my own regret,

I can’t bring you back again…

ooohhhh

I cant bring you back again…ahh

—-

Traded fear for love

oohhhh I cant bring you back again
