Story Behind The Song
My girlfriend had the option to move on in her career search or to stick around where she is starting out at. That is the same place where the guy she fell for emotionally works, making me feel uncomfortable every second she is at work.

Lyrics
V1:
You say you wanna be
The greatest naturally
But don?t forget about me
I?ll be the bigger man
And since you may not understand
I won?t complicate your plans
CH:
I won?t say a word
If you?re happy today
And I won?t say a word
If it gets in your way
No I won?t say a word
Even if my heart aches
And I won?t say a word
Just to hold on
To blue skies again
V2:
Seems time will tell the tale
And we?ll end up where we will
So I?ll pretend I don?t hurt still
If we say we?re who we are
Then nothing stops us from the start
And we?ll end up going far
Further than the stars
CH:
I won?t say a word
If you?re happy today
And I won?t say a word
If it gets in your way
No I won?t say a word
Even if my heart aches
And I won?t say a word
Just to hold on
To blue skies again
Bridge:
Why don?t we work
To save who we love
Why don?t we learn to
Surrender our trust
Why must it burn
To know what must?ve been
In order to make sense
Will it happen again
I?m left to myself to be strong
CH:
I won?t say a word
If you?re happy today
And I won?t say a word
If it gets in your way
No I won?t say a word
Even if my heart aches
And I won?t say a word
Just to hold on
To blue skies again
