LyricsWhat I Didn't Say Yves Stilmant ©2025 ASCAP[Verse 1] I wish I had stayed when you asked me to stay But I walked away, like I always do I kept all the words locked deep in my chest Now they echo like ghosts in an empty room [Chorus] Oh, I wish I could go back Oh, I wish I could stay Oh, I wish I could hold on To the things I threw away It's the weight of the quiet It's the cost of the pain All the things I didn't do And what I didn't say [Verse 2] The time that I lost chasing something not real All the love that I held but refused to feel I see every face I turned into a name And I carry the silence like it's my shame [Chorus] Oh, I wish I could go back Oh, I wish I could stay Oh, I wish I could hold on To the things I threw away It's the weight of the quiet It's the cost of the pain All the things I didn't do And what I didn't say [Verse 3] I built all my walls just to feel safe inside But now I can't tell where I end or hide The chances I missed still call out my name And the roads I avoided still look the same [Bridge] If I could start again, just one more day I'd face all my fears, I'd beg you to stay But time is a thief that don't give it back It just leaves you alone with the things you lack [Chorus] Oh, I wish I could go back Oh, I wish I could stay Oh, I wish I could hold on To the things I threw away It's the weight of the quiet It's the cost of the pain All the things I didn't do And what I didn't say [Outro] So I whisper to stars, and I hope they forgive For the life that I lost, for the love I didn't give And I carry it all, like a name on a stone What I didn't say, I now call my own |
