Never Said
by: Brandon HeathIf this isn't exactly
All that stuff you never said
It only existed in my head
You caught me unexpecting
Here with nothing left to say
But you insist that it's ok
I'm sitting here tonight
And I'm hoping I heard you right
You don't have to take it all way
Cause it's exactly what I thought you'd never say
Lately we've been busy
You've got your work and I've got mine
And were lucky if we find the time at all
To talk about our feelings
About what's been going on inside
All I can do lately is hide
You hold me in your hand
Don't mistake me, that I don't understand
You don't have to take it all away
Cause it's exactly what I thought you'd never say
Lately when you speak to me
It's taking everything I have inside
To keep my feet on the ground
And what else can I say to you
When your hearts already spoken for mine
I've fallen this time
If this isn't exactly
All that stuff you never said
