Something I Can't Say

And there's something sitting on my tongue tonight

A quiet truth I keep behind my eyes

It moves around my chest like restless fire

A word I wanna give but must deny

Because the moment that it leaves my lips

Then I will never be the same

I almost say it, I almost do

I almost tell you what I feel for you

But some things burn if we let them stay

So I keep the words I can't say

You lean a little closer in the dark

Your shadow dancing slowly on the wall

I know the line we promised not to cross

I feel it every time you call

I almost say it, I almost do

I almost tell you what I feel for you

But some things burn if we let them stay

So I keep the words I can't say

Because the moment that I say it out loud

There's no returning from that sound

Maybe silence is the kinder crime

Maybe truth would only steal this time

I almost say it, I almost do

I almost tell you what I feel for you

But some things burn if we let them stay

So I keep the words I can't say

I almost say it, I almost do

I almost tell you what I feel for you

But if I say it, you might stay too

And God knows I would choose forever you
