words i couldn t say
in a book in a box in the closet
in a line in a song i once heard
in a moment on a front porch
late one june
in a breath inside a whisper
beneath the moon
there it was at the tip of my fingers
there it was on the tip of my tongue
there you were and i had never been that far
there it was the whole world
wrapped inside my arms
and i let it all slip away --
chorus
what do i do now that you re gone
no back up plan no second chance
and no one else to blame
all i can hear in the silence
that remains
are the words i couldn t say
there s a rain that ll
never stop falling
there s a wall that i ve tried to
take down
what i should ve said
just wouldn t pass my lips
so i held back and now we ve
come to this
and it s too late now --
repeat chorus
what do i do now that you re gone
no back up plan no second chance
and no one else to blame
all i can hear in the silence
that remains
are the words i couldn t say
are the words i couldn t say
i should have found a way
to tell you how i felt
now the only one i m tellin is myself
what do i do now that you re gone
repeat chorus
no back up plan no second chance
and no one else to blame
all i can hear in the silence
that remains
are the words i couldn t say
what do i do what do i say
and no one else to blame
all i can hear in the silence that
remains
are the words i couldn t say
