"things you never say" lyrics

"things you never say"

You're as good as it gets if they looked outside
All the boxes are checked and it seems all right
But it isn't, something is missing
You treat love like a language that's black and white
If it ain't your way, then it's never right
I can't hate you, but I blame you

I know that you'll never change
But I still wish you would say

I love you
How you doing? How was your day?
Did your friends go home? Did you have a good night?
Hope you get to the gate, hope you have a safe flight
I'll miss you
When you coming back to stay?
Did you get those flowers I sent to your place?
Did it make you feel better when you had a bad day?
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say

You show up on time on a holiday
But you didn't call after my first date
And I like him, but you'll never know that
Does it cross your mind? Does it make you cry?
Thinking 'bout the miles between you and I
Like I do, but I'll never ask you, mmm, 'cause

I know that you'll never change
But I still wish you would say

I love you
How you doing? How was your day?
Did your friends go home? Did you have a good night?
Hope you get to the gate, hope you have a safe flight
I'll miss you
When you coming back to stay?
Did you get those flowers I sent to your place?
Did it make you feel better when you had a bad day?
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say

And I still hold on 'cause I hate goodbye
And I know that people can change sometimes
And I hope one day that you realize
I don't want you gone, I just want you to try

'Cause I love you
I just wish we were okay
And I know sometimes that we make mistakes
So I want you to know at the end of the day
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say
