Words That She Never Said

from Blackhill​.​.​. and Back by Chris Swinney

lyrics

So this is how it all must end
You’ll go your way and I’ll be fine
I wait for the darkness to descend
Another day we’ll leave behind
For all of the ones that lie ahead
That hold the memories of the things she said

Suppose I’ll have to live with it
There’s nothing more that I can do
To say that it doesn’t hurt a bit
I must admit would stretch the truth
But oh what a blessing in disguise
Now I realise what might have been

Of all the words she might have said
Of all that could enter in her head
Three were abandoned, left for dead
Never thought I’d be grateful
For the words that she never said

What a strange consolation
But I’ll take comfort from this
‘Cause I don’t think that I could take it
If those words had passed your lips
No, no, no

There’s no way I’d put the blame on you
‘Cause there were one or two things I held back too
One or two things to show I care
That won’t hurt you when I’m not there
So you see we played it safe
And we’re much better off this way

Of all the words she might have said
Of all that could enter in her head
Three were abandoned, left for dead
Never thought I’d be grateful
For the words that she never…

Of all the words she might have said
Of all that could enter in her head
Three were abandoned, left for dead
Never thought I’d be grateful
For the words that she never said
I never thought I’d be grateful
For the words that she never said
