"Words I Couldn't Say" lyrics

In a book, in a box, in the closet
In a line, in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tips of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away

What do I do now that you're gone?
No back-up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
There's a wall that I tried to take down
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this

And it's too late now

What do I do now that you're gone?
No back-up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

I should have found the way to tell you how I felt
Now the one I'm telling is myself

What do I do now that you're gone?
No back-up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone?
No back-up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone?
No back-up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
