What You'll Never Say

(album: Autumn Leaves - 2023)

Don't you have work in the morning
I know you're always up at night
But it's way to late for this conversation
The endless cycle's leaving me tired
I don't think you know what you're doing
You treat me like I'm here just to waste your time
Like a game you show up then you're gone
Just leading me on so I can't heal right

I stopped texting to ask how you are
For one word answers if you even respond
You're still making me wait for words you'll never say
I know you'll never say

I'm sorry, for holding your hand when
I knew it was over, didn't give you the closure
I'm sorry, for two months of silence
You didn't deserve empty promises
And I'm sorry, I threw away all
The time that we spent, I said
We should stay friends, never called you again
I was too scared to say I made a mistake I wish I had stayed
But that's what you'll never say

Do you have someone to hold you
Has somebody else already filled my roll
Is there someone new you can talk but not listen to
Then leave when that gets old
This doesn't feel any better
It still hurts like when you left
But the more I think about how you let me down
It feels like it's for the best

I stopped texting to ask how you are
For one word answers if you even respond
I don't want to wait for what you'll never say
I know you'll never say

I'm sorry, for holding your hand when
I knew it was over, didn't give you the closure
I'm sorry, for breaking you heart
When I always promised I wouldn't
And I'm sorry I threw away
Eight months of talking
You gave me your trust and I know that's not easy for you
Took for granted the things that you gave, I wish I had stayed
But that's what you'll never say
