Lyrics

you never said ©2025 jonathan sanson

sitting next to you i asked — if i could hold your hand
you never really said
i'd like to drive you home — but i don't know your name
you never really said
your friends call me a clown — you never disagree
you never really said
is it something left unsaid — am i the one to blame
you never really said
i was a fool who took you at your word
but you never said

i wonder if you'll know — when you find what you are searching for
you never really said
you're such a mystery — can’t get you off my mind
you never really said
my friends keep asking you — are you gonna break my heart
you never really said
i've tried so hard to see — i made myself to blind
you never really said
yes, i was the fool who took you at your word
but you never said

promise not spoken can still be broken
your silent lies pushed tears into my eyes
one lovely smile has brought me down on my knees
time to quit pretending you don't hear all of my silent pleas

i give it up, i quit — now can we at least kiss
you never really said
it's over now i'm done — will you give me your address
you never really said
i'll never care for you — can i call you on the phone
you never really said
i'll pick up at nine — just nod your head for yes
you never really said
i'm just the fool who'll take you at your word
that you never said

you never really said
the truth could tear me -- you never really said
you never really said
just come with me instead -- you never really said
you never really said
you put an arrow through my heart -- you never really said
you never really said
i may not be too smart -- you never really said
you never really said
yes, i'll wait another day -- you never really said
you never really said
can you come outside and play -- you never really said
