Things They Couldn't Say

Too many yesterdays ago

Music bound unlikely souls in nature

Not the same a common ground was walked

A friendship that defied cliche

Then a question spread like cancer

And since that day his silence hides

The things he couldn't say

So many years have come and gone

(The things he couldn't say)

Like precious treasures trampled on

(Things she couldn't say)

A fear that eats you like decay

(Things they couldn't say)

Unspoken questions drove away

The things he couldn't say

Disconnection separates, all I can do is watch

Like a spectator in a gallery of pain at arms length

Like a grief observed surreal a mannequin acceptance

Of this cruel severance pay

For all the things he couldn't say

So many years have come and gone

(The things he couldn't say)

Like precious treasures trampled on

(Things she couldn't say)

A fear that eats you like decay

(Things they couldn't say)

Unspoken questions drove away

The things he couldn't say

With hearts like finest china

And feet of solid clay

We set indefinite delays

For all the things we couldn't say

So many years have come and gone

(The things he couldn't say)

Like precious treasures trampled on

(Things she couldn't say)

A fear that eats you like decay

(Things they couldn't say)

Unspoken questions drove away

The things he couldn't say

But it's not too late

Say you'll stay forever

Say you'll stay for now

It's not too late

The things they couldn't say
