The One I Never Told

I tried to be strong, but I fell apart I tried to be brave, but I lost my heart

Every word I had just wouldn't come out Every smile I wore was full of doubt

But when you talk, the noise goes quiet When you're near, I don't have to hide it

Why does it feel safe when I'm close to you? Why do I feel like I can tell you the truth

All of the fears I keep inside All of the tears I try to hide

If I had told you how I felt that day Would you still be here or gone away

All the words I never said Now just echo in my head

If I had held you one more time Would we still be standing in that line

I walk around with a heavy chest Trying so hard just to do my best

Every mistake keeps pulling me down Like I'm gonna sink if I make a sound

But you don't look at me like I'm weak You look at me like I'm something sweet

I don't know how to be okay But I wanna try if you will stay

If I had told you how I felt that day Would you still be here or gone away

All the words I never said Now just echo in my head

If I had held you one more time Would we still be standing in that line

I don't wanna run anymore I'm tired of hiding behind closed doors

If you're scared, you're not alone We don't have to do this on our own

You are gone No more tears to hide

I replay our first hello Our laugh, our touch

Wishing I had said I loved you so much

If I had told you how I felt that day Would you still be here or gone away

All the words I never said Now just echo in my head

If I had held you one more time I'd have told you you were always mine

I walk alone where we used to be Haunted by the love you'll never see

I should have told you, now it's too late And I'm left holding only fate
