What I Didn’t Say

[Verse 1]
What I say is, "It's fine
"That you'll never be mine"
What you hear me say is untrue
What I say is, "I don't mind
"Bein' alone"
When the truth is I'd rather be with you
What I say is, "This will work
"With these sweet little perks"
When all I really do is wonder how it will
What I say to your face
Will never replace
The way I really feel

[Chorus]
What I didn't say is how I need you
What I didn't say is you're on my mind
What I didn't say I don't have to
Because it's pourin' from this big heart of mine

[Verse 2]
What I say is "Go ahead
"With the girl in the red"
As I gently put down the phone
What I say is "I don't care
"That she'll be waitin' over there
"For you to take her home"
What I say is what you want
'Cause I'm afraid to be blunt
Or you just pick up and leave
What I say to your face
Will never replace
The way I really feel

[Chorus]
What I didn't say is how I need you
What I didn't say is you're on my mind
What I didn't say I don't have to
Because it's pourin' from this bleedin' heart of mine
What I didn't say I don't have to
Because it's pourin' from this bleedin' heart of mine
