We Never Said Goodbye (Song #112)

We Never Said Goodbye

Hold your wishes close
And let the regrets go
I stood here waiting
But you did not show

Now I have taken steps
And I have moved ahead
Some things are just better unspoken
They’re just better left unsaid

We never said goodbye
I wasn’t looking to bring you down
I didn’t walk away
You just never came around
I’ve wondered why you couldn’t try
But still we never said goodbye

Keep (the) broken promises
Let loose all the chains
You’ve been holding all the cards
I been playing all the games

Now I may have seen it all
Though you have shut the blinds
I’m not afraid of what I’ll lose
You’ve shown me what I’d find

We never said goodbye
I wasn’t looking to bring you down
I didn’t walk away
You just never came around
I’ve wondered why you couldn’t try
But still we never said goodbye

Is there nothing so revealing as a moment of “what if?”
Is there nothing so concealing as a moment of regret?

We never said goodbye
I wasn’t looking to bring you down
I didn’t walk away
You just never came around
I’ve wondered why you couldn’t try
But still we never said goodbye
