what i didn't say lyrics

Secrets stored in the pictures on your skin
Hours fade and the days that never end
I see myself reflected in your eyes
And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies

So I let you go and I watch you leave
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
When you walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said, it's what I didn't say

Is she everything you wanted her to be?
I bet she never breaks your heart like me
So it's one more night I cover up with you
And I hate myself for what I didn't do

So I let you go and I watch you leave
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
When you walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said, it's what I didn't say

Shouldn't known battered now
All I have left is a permanent stain
The only part of you I get to keep forever
To prove I'd live this pain

Maybe I was never as smart as I thought
Maybe we can never be as good as we were
Maybe you just didn't need me enough
Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love
Like this, like this

Secrets stored in the silence of my sin
And I'm the one who loses in the end

So I let you go and I watch you leave
And I hold my breath so you don't hear me say
You walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said that's keeping me away

It's what I didn't say, what I didn't say
It's not what I said that's keeping me away
It's not what I said, it's what I didn't say
