"Words I Couldn't Say" lyrics

I never cared for songs that said "The stars shine in your eyes"
Or words like "I can't live without you"
I thought that I had other ways to show you how I feel
I never felt the need to say those things about you
And I know that I'm so selfish I don't always hear a sigh
Then I end up feeling helpless when I know I've made you cry

And the stars shine in your eyes
Your smile lights up my day
And I can't live without you now
Are the words I couldn't say

I never cared for songs that said "You're the moon in the sky at night"
Or words like "you're my everything"
Although I might have felt those sentiments at certain times
They were never words that I felt I could sing
And I never mean to hurt you and if those words could heal the pain
And if they'd show you what you mean to me
I'll say them time and time again

And the stars shine in your eyes
Your smile lights up my day
And I can't live without you now
Are the words I couldn't say
...
