Lyrics

The Words You Don't Say

Kathy Kallick (Red Shirt Pub. Co./BMI), James Leva (North Buffalo Music/BMI); Carol Elizabeth Jones (BMI)

No bitter cryin’, no bitter tears
No bitter thoughts of wasted years
Hard feelings stay, won’t go away
More time goes by, ’til there’s nothing to say

You could have spoken right from the start
And said those words that tore my world apart
I could have cried then, ’til the pain washed away
But I’m left full of silence from the words you don’t say

CHORUS:
It’s not what you have done, it’s what you don’t say
It’s the unspoken words that stand in our way
You can’t get around it and I can’t lead the way
Without understanding the words you don’t say

There is a place inside the heart
That waits for words that are unsaid
There is a place that once loved a friend
There is a place where love never ends
