What You'll Never Say

Don't you have work in the morning?

I know you're always up at night

But it's way too late for this conversation

The endless cycle's leaving me tired

I don't think you know what you're doing

You treat me like I'm here just to waste your time

Like a game, you show up, then you're gone

Just leading me on so I can't heal right

I stopped texting to ask how you are

For one-word answers if you even respond

You're still making me wait for words you'll never say

I know you'll never say

I'm sorry for holding your hand when I knew it was over

Didn't give you the closure

I'm sorry for two months of silence

You didn't deserve empty promises

And I'm sorry I threw away all the time that we spent

I said we should stay friends, never called you again

I was too scared to say I made a mistake

I wish I had stayed, but that's what you'll never say

Do you have someone to hold you?

Has somebody else already filled my role?

Is there someone new you can talk but not listen to

And leave when that gets old?

This doesn't feel any better

It still hurts like when you left

But the more I think about how you let me down

It feels like it's for the best

I stopped texting to ask how you are

For one-word answers if you even respond

I don't wanna wait for words you'll never say

I know you'll never say

I'm sorry for holding your hand when I knew it was over

Didn't give you the closure

I'm sorry for breaking your heart when I always promised I wouldn't

And I'm sorry I threw away eight months of talking

You gave me your trust and I know that's not easy for you

Took for granted the things that you gave

I wish I had stayed, but that's what you'll never say

(That's what you'll never say)
