all we never said

I kept it quiet, like it never burned

Every look I gave you, left unreturned

You touched my shoulder, then pulled away

But I still replay it every day

I built a house with no address

Filled it with all the words I suppressed

If you ever walked inside, you'd see

It was always you haunting me

And all of the nights, I waited in vain

Carrying hope like a ghost in the rain

I would have given my whole world to you

But you never asked, you never knew

Now I'm drowning in all we never said

Alive in the silence, but inside I'm dead

I laughed at your jokes, hid the truth in a smile

Hoping you'd notice, just once in a while

You looked right through me, but lingered near

Do you know what I lost by holding you here?

Every hint I left, every broken sign

Fell to the ground, got buried in time

If you only knew what it cost to pretend

You'd understand why this never ends

And all of the nights, I waited in vain

Carrying hope like a ghost in the rain

I would have given my whole world to you

But you never asked, you never knew

Now I'm drowning in all we never said

Alive in the silence, but inside I'm dead

Maybe one day, when you're lying awake

You'll feel the ache of the choice you made

And you'll wonder why I never moved on

But by then I'll be ashes, already gone

And all of the nights, I waited in vain

Carrying hope like a ghost in the rain

I would have given my whole world to you

But you never asked, you never knew

Now I'm drowning in all we never said

Alive in the silence, but inside I'm dead
