“Things I Didn’t Say” is a track from Adam Lambert’s third studio album “The Original High”. Adam details his struggle with failing to initiate a relationship.
It’s about missed chances, missed connections. I thought I said what I was feeling, and I guess I didn’t, and I lost my chance.
[Verse 1]
Maybe I got it wrong
How did I turn you off?
'Cause now you're out of my reach
Maybe I played too safe
How did I pull away?
Am I too blinded to see?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been hoping you'd catch up somehow
Like I'm way too far ahead
Every time I think I'm gaining ground
I'm misunderstood again
[Chorus]
I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
I thought that you felt it
In the games that I didn't play
So let the record show I never let you go
Can we get back on track?
Oh, I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
[Verse 2]
What if I shout it out?
What if I take a vow?
Wouldn't you think it's too much?
What ya want from me?
Thought it was going deep
Guess it was never enough
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been hoping you'd catch up somehow
Like I'm way too far ahead
Every time I think I'm gaining ground
I'm misunderstood again
[Chorus]
I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
I thought that you felt it
In the games that I didn't play
So let the record show I never let you go
Can we get back on track?
Oh, I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
[Bridge]
I thought I told you
I thought I told you
I thought I told you
[Chorus]
I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
I thought that you felt it
In the games that I didn't play
So let the record show I never let you go
Can we get back on track?
Oh, I thought that I said it
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
In the things that I didn't say
