Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dad]
I still see your hands,
stained with oil and dust,
Turning wrenches,
fixing things,
building up the rust.
I sat in silence, watching close,
But I never learned the things I miss the most.
You’d hum old songs,
half out of tune,
A cigarette burning in the afternoon.
You could fix anything with just your hands,
But I never learned how to be that kind of man.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought there’d be more time,
more words to say,
Now I’m talking to the wind,
hoping it carries your way.
---
[Chorus]
These are the words I never said,
The lessons I wish I’d learned instead.
The questions left hanging in the air,
The moments I lost, the things I can’t repair.
---
[Verse 2: Skylyn]
Sky you had this way of slowing time,
Soft-spoken patience when I’d lose my mind.
You’d wait through my storms,
let the thunder die,
Never rushed the words,
just met my eyes.
I wish I’d told you just once or twice,
You were my anchor, my peace, my light.
Maybe you knew,
maybe you saw,
But damn, -
I wish I’d said it all.
---
[Bridge: The What-Ifs]
If I could reach across the years,
Through all the silence, through all the tears…
I’d tell you,
Dad,
I should’ve asked,
To show me how to make things last.(Make things last)
---
And Skylyn,
I’d take your hand,
Say-
“You were more than you'll ever understand.”(understand)
---
[Final Chorus: The Resolution]
These are the words I never said,
The lessons I wish I’d learned instead.
--
But maybe somehow, you already knew,
Maybe love speaks without words, too.
