Things they couldn't say

Too many yesterdays ago
Music bound unlikely souls in nature
Not the same a common ground
Was walked a friendship that defied cliche
Then a question spread like cancer
And since that day his silence hides
The things he couldn't say
So many years have come and gone
Like precious treasures trampled on a fear
That eats you like decay
Unspoken questions drove away
The things he couldn't say
Disconnection separates and all i can do is watch
Like a spectator in a gallery of pain at arms length
Like a grief observed surreal a mannequin
Acceptance of this cruel severance pay
For all the things he couldn't say
So many years have come and gone
Like precious treasures trampled on a fear
That eats you like decay
Unspoken questions drove away
The things he couldn't say with hearts
Like finest china and feet of solid clay
We set indefinite delays
For all the things we couldn't say
So many years have come and gone
Like precious treasures trampled on a fear
That eats you like decay
Unspoken questions drove away
The things he couldn't say
But it's not too late
Say you'll stay forever
Say you'll stay for now
It's not too late
The things they couldn't say...
