| I threw your picture in the fire
|
| I watched you melt away
|
| You turned to smoke, you burned my eyes
|
| But I couldn’t escape
|
| My love for you remains
|
| So why was I afraid?
|
| When you were next to me
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| You were so good to me
|
| Why didn’t I just take back everything I said to you?
|
| And take back everything I put you through?
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| They said we never would survive
|
| And I believed the lies
|
| And then their words were verified
|
| When I replaced my heart for your demise
|
| But you were always on the side
|
| When you were next to me
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| You were so good to me
|
| Why didn’t I just take back everything I said to you?
|
| And take back everything I put you through?
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| I love the way you understand
|
| The way you love
|
| The way you were when no one was looking
|
| That you were beautiful and you were worth it all
|
| You were everything I need
|
| You captured my attention
|
| Did I mention I think you’re beautiful, darling?
|
| If I could tell you now
|
| I’d tell you how the world is dark now that you’re missing
|
| Now that you’re missing
|
| When you were next to me
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| You were so good to me
|
| And why didn’t I just take back everything I said to you?
|
| And take back everything I put you through?
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| I love the way you understand
|
| The way you love
|
| The way you were
|
| Why didn’t I tell you?
|
| That you were beautiful
|
| And you were worth it all
|
| So why didn’t I tell you?
|
| You captured my attention, did I mention?
|
| So why didn’t I tell you?
|
| That you were beautiful
|
| That you were worth it all
|
| So why didn’t I tell you?
|
| If I could tell you now
|
| I’d say I love you |
