There was rain on the street last night We stood beneath the front door light Everything we said, we made sure the neighbors heard You called me this, I called you that Standing on the welcome mat Everything we felt, it all came down to just one word But you couldn't say it And I couldn't say it
You know I tried, my best to go I know you cried, 'cause I hurt you so It should have been easy to say that we were through But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do It was almost goodbye Almost goodbye
Now there was sun through the blinds this morning When I opened up my eyes Outside I could hear a mockingbird I could feel your heartbeat as you lay there by my side I thought of how the world could end With just one word But you couldn't say it And I didn't say it
You know I tried, my best to go I know you cried, 'cause I hurt you so It should have been easy to say that we were through But to walk away from love was more than we could do It was almost goodbye Almost goodbye
Sometimes the most important words Are the ones that you leave unspoken
