Lyrics

Unspoken

I went to the house that used to be ours
And knocked on the door with a handful of flowers
But you weren?t home
So I left the bouquet tied on a string
And walked to the park and sat on a swing
And stared down at my shoes.
Thinking about the way that things were
When you were my boy and I was your girl
And we were so young and so far from the world
And we treated our hearts like sails unfurled in a hurricane
And I didn?t know I should know at the time
That these were the moments defining my life
So I let them slip by
And all of those things that I should have said
Died on my lips and remained in my head
And I couldn?t live so I dreamed life instead
And I am still dreaming
I sat in the park for just long enough
For the sun to go down and the street lights came up
And I wandered on
And the evening rain filled up my shoes
So I splashed through the puddles and chided my blues
Till I found my way home
And tied to the door with a bit of worn string
A bouquet of dried flowers and the old silver ring
That you used to wear
I kicked off my damp shoes and headed inside
And stared into the mirror
And wondered if that?s how I looked in your eyes
A sad little girl facing the world
With a pasted on smile and a heedful of words
Unspoken
