things you never say

[Verse 1]
You're as good as it gets, if they looked outside
All the boxes are checked and it seems alright
But it isn't
Something is missing
You treat love like a language, it's black and white
If it ain't your way, then it's never right
I can't hate you
But I blame you

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that you'll never change
But I still wish you would say

[Chorus]
"I love you
How you doing? How's your day?
Did your friends go home?
Did you have a good night?
Hope you get to the gate
Hope you have a safe flight
I miss you
When you coming back to stay?
Did you get those flowers I sent to your place?
Did it make you feel better when you had a bad day?"
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say

[Verse 2]
You show up on time on a holiday
But you didn't call after my first date
And I like him, but you'll never know that
Does it cross your mind? Does it make you cry?
Thinking 'bout the miles between you and I
Like I do, but I'll never ask you, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know that you'll never change
But I still wish you would say

[Chorus]
"I love you
How you doing? How's your day?
Did your friends go home?
Did you have a good night?
Hope you get to the gate
Hope you have a safe flight
I miss you
When you coming back to stay?
Did you get those flowers I sent to your place?
Did it make you feel better when you had a bad day?"
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say

[Bridge]
And I still hold on, 'cause I hate goodbye
And I know that people can change sometimes
And I hope one day that you realize
I don't want you gone, I just want you to try

[Outro]
'Cause I love you
I just wish we were okay
And I know sometimes that we make mistakes
So I want you to know, at the end of the day
It's not the things you do
It's the things you never say
