Things I Didn't Say - xis

I see us in a ranch house with a pond A couple kids with your baby blues Bet you'll look good as a soccer mom But ain't no way in hell that I'm telling you 'Cause it's only been two months and six days And I ain't tryna sound crazy But, 'I love you', is on the tip of my tongue And I want you to want me to be the one And I almost tell you every night When we're getting off FaceTime I drunk text you, but let my friends read it first 'Cause it's too soon for those three little words I'll tell you one day, but for now, babe I'll add it to the list of the things I can't say I had a daydream you proposed We got hitched on the beach that day Had a honeymoon on the Maui coast Couldn't wipe the smile off my face It's only been two months and six days And I ain't tryna sound crazy But, 'I love you', is on the tip of my tongue And I want you to want me to be the one And I almost tell you every night When we're getting off FaceTime I drunk text you, but let my friends read it first 'Cause it's too soon for those three little words I'll tell you one day, but for now, babe I'll add it to the list of the things I can't say I don't wanna scare you off You're the best thing that I've got I don't wanna scare you off You're the best thing that I've got But, 'I love you', is on the tip of my tongue And I want you to want me to be the one (I want you) And I almost tell you every night When we're getting off FaceTime (getting off FaceTime) I drunk text you, but let my friends read it first 'Cause it's too soon for those three little words I'll tell you one day, but for now, babe I'll add it to the list of the things I can't say You know I want to, babe Yeah, you know I want to, babe, yeah You know I want to, babe I'll add it to the list of the things I can't say

When I fall, I fall completely down Then I start runnin' with my feet to the ground No matter where I'm goin', I just can't outrun my mind Sometimes I wonder where life is takin' me now If I can make it through it all somehow There's no way of knowin' how much heartache I may find I only wish I had another day to spend Laughin' on that old front porch again It's the price I pay for what I didn't say in the end Though the memory never leaves my head Just some random thoughts take the place instead There's no peace I find when I close my eyes and rest In my life, there's regret and shame But ain't nobody gonna ease the pain For a broken man givin' up more day by day I only wish I had another day to spend Laughin' on that old front porch again It's the price I pay for what I didn't say in the end Soon our time down here will surely fade And the memories of the life that we made There's no second chance to get back all the love that you gave

I don't mean half the things I say I said it just so that you'd laugh Remember where we used to play They've paved a road over our path You told me that you loved me then I love you more now that you're gone The version of me you remember Is one I'm trying to get away from You're way too young to feel this old I've left you waiting for so long I hope you choose yourself this time Forgive yourself for all those things that you're not You told me that you loved me then I love you more now that you're gone The version of me you remember Is one I'm trying to get away from I hate to see you have to heal From things that never were your fault I couldn't be who you needed I'm sorry everything went wrong You told me that you loved me then I love you more now that you're gone The version of me you remember Is one I'm trying to get away from I don't mean half the things I said I'd said them just cause I was scared Why do all these happy memories Hurt so much more than the one that is not I don't mean half the things I said I didn't mean half the things I said I'm sorry everything went wrong

There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stay Can we work this out, baby, we can work this out A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe No, this ain't how it was suppose to be While you're out chasin' all your dreams Tell me where does that leave me? What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? You said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say? Are they just things, baby? The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday Asked if I was fine We sat and talked a while He tried to make me smile But it's so hard to show my face round lately In this small town I guess they heard the news 'About me and you It's 3 a.m., and I can't sleep at all I wonder where you are tonight, and do I ever cross your mind? What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? You said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say Well, my momma won't stop crying She wonders what went wrong Could I have loved a little deeper Or did I hold on too strong? Ooh Oh, no What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? You said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say? Whoa Are they just things, baby? Oh
