Leighton Meester Words I Couldn't Say lyrics

In a book in a box in the closet
In a line in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch, late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tips of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was, the whole world wrapped inside my arms
And I let it all slip away

What do I do now that you're gone?
No backup plan, no second chance, no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

There's a rain that will never stop falling
There's a wall that I've tried to take down
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this
And it's too late now

What do I do now that you're gone?
No backup plan, no second chance, no one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

I should have found a way to tell you how I felt
And now the only one I'm telling is myself

What do I do now that you're gone?
No backup plan, no second chance, no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do? What do I say?
No one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do? What do I say?
No one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say
