"Things I Wish I'd Said" lyrics

"Things I Wish I'd Said"

An old face came to me tonight
I don't know why he came
A million memories flickering
Just like home movies in my brain

I turned to stone
He stared at me
What could I do?
I asked him in for tea

Gone were the wild-eyed kids we knew
Two adults faced each other
We talked of trivialities
Ignored the poison in our hearts

We spoke of past and future dreams
While in my head I suppressed frustrated screams

Oh God, not you again
Oh God, not you again
Oh God

Go away

The time it seemed stood still for us
At last, he rose to leave
A million things I wish I'd said
Things that must now remain unsaid

I close the book inside my head
And now he's gone, and a part of me is dead

Oh God, I'm on my own again
Oh God, I'm on my own again
So what?

Oh God, I'm on my own again
Oh God, I'm on my own again
Oh God, I'm on my own again
Oh God, I'm on my own again and again and again and again

Always haunting me, those things I wish I'd said to you
Always haunting me, those things I wish I'd said to you
Always haunting me, those things I wish I'd said to you
Always haunting me, those things I wish I'd said to you
