Verse 1
I wrote a thousand lines in my mind,
But none of them ever reached your eyes.
You were right there, arms open wide,
And I still kept my heart inside.
Verse 2
I smiled like nothing tore me apart,
Held back the tremble in my heart.
You deserved the truth, but I turned away,
Drowning in the things I couldn’t say.
Pre-Chorus
I was scared you'd see the cracks in me,
So I gave you silence carefully…
Chorus
These are the things I couldn’t say—
The fears I hid, the words that stayed.
Like how your touch made me feel whole,
How you’re the map to my lost soul.
How I prayed you’d never walk away,
But I never gave you a reason to stay.
Now every night, I still replay…
The things I couldn’t say.
Verse 3
I should’ve said, “I’m broken too,”
That I’m scared of being loved by you.
I should’ve said, “I need your grace,”
Instead, I just watched you walk away.
Pre-Chorus
Now all I hold are could-have-beens,
Echoes of you in the quiet wind.
Chorus
These are the things I couldn’t say—
Like how you lit my darkest days.
That when you said my name, I healed,
And every part of me was real.
How I believed you were my fate,
But I spoke too soft, too late.
Now all I have is this heart that breaks…
With the things I couldn’t say.
Bridge
Maybe someday, you'll hear this song,
And know my silence didn't mean you were wrong.
I loved you deeper than I could admit—
And I hate that you never heard it.
Final Chorus (Stripped & Soft)
These are the things I couldn’t say—
The truth I let just slip away.
You were my safe, you were my light…
I just couldn’t find the words that night.
But if this song could find your way—
I’d say it all… today.
