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 (The things he couldn't say) Like precious treasures trampled on (Things she couldn't say) A fear that eats you like decay (Things they couldn't say) Unspoken questions drove away The things he couldn't say Disconnection separates, 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
(The things he couldn't say) Like precious treasures trampled on (Things she couldn't say) A fear that eats you like decay (Things they couldn't say) 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 (The things he couldn't say) Like precious treasures trampled on (Things she couldn't say) a fear that eats you like decay (Things they couldn't say) 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
