There are words he doesn't say Softly in your ear There are words he doesn't say, Words you need to hear. There are places where he doesn't go That he used to go before. There are words he doesn't say And you miss them more and more.
He doesn't say that he admires you. He doesn't praise you very much. He doesn't say that he desires you, Or that he hungers for your touch. So many words he doesn't use now, Those little names you used to share. And there are days he blows his fuse now, And there are nights he's just not there.
There are words he left behind, As the years went by. There are words that come to mind, Words that make you cry. You have seen the gap between you grow, It gets wider every day. And you wonder what's behind All the words he doesn't say.
He used to say what he was feeling, And there were dreams that he'd confide. He used to say words so revealing That you could see the pain inside. Now there are no words when he's hurting. He leaves you hanging in the air. And there are no words left for flirting, Or running fingers through you hair.
There are words he doesn't say Though he knows he should. There are words he doesn't say In the way I would. For the truth is you deserve them so, And they're long past overdue. All the words he doesn't say Are words I'd say to you.
