Lyrics Tessa Violet

Tessa Violet

I Don't Get to Say I Love You Anymore

I drive a new path so I won't have to pass

The place where you first held my hand

And I'm just trying to get back to normal

Not too stiff too formal

What do I do with my hands

Now I'm drifting through our regular store

Pretending I'm not wishing you behind every door

And I can't remember what my words were good for

Now I don't get to say I love you anymore

I'm swimming back to shore

Just trying to keep your

Memory from washing over me

And oh, I'm sure

I'll find my voice once more

But what are words good for

If I don't get to say I love you anymore

I try not to be distracted by the absence of your coat thrown on my floor

But every part of me can't help but see

The places you should be

The spaces in-between our words

Now I'm drifting through our regular store

Pretending I'm not wishing you behind every door

And I can't remember what my words were good for

Now I don't get to say I love you anymore

I'm swimming back to shore

Just trying to keep your

Memory from washing over me

And oh, I'm sure

I'll find my voice once more

But what are words good for

If I don't get to say I love you anymore

Rain soaked, cobblestones

The streets you walked me home

Your pictures on my phone

And I don't get to say I love you anymore

Storm swept in, your name

And covered me with rain

Now nothing feels the same

And I don't get to say I love you anymore

I'm swimming back to shore

Just trying to keep your

Memory from washing over me

And oh, I'm sure

I'll find my voice once more

But what are words good for

If I don't get to say I love you anymore
