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
