Words Unspoken

[Verse 1] In the silence of my mind, I hold conversations with you, Crafting words I’ll never say, painting scenes that won’t come true. A secret garden grows within, where my feelings lie in wait, For the courage to break ground, but fear decides their fate. [Pre-Chorus] Every moment spent in wait, a petal falls to time, In the garden of my mind, where your love’s a silent rhyme. [Chorus] But if I dared to let it out, if I dared to let you see, Would the love that lives in shadows survive the light of reality? For words unspoken hold us close, in a fragile, dreamlike state, I’m tethered to a hope that fear won’t let me translate. [Verse 2] In the quiet of the night, I rehearse what I would say, But the daylight steals my nerve, and the words just slip away. Like a melody unsung, a story left unread, My confession lies in shadows, and my heart remains unsaid. [Pre-Chorus] Every moment spent in wait, a petal falls to time, In the garden of my mind, where your love’s a silent rhyme. [Bridge] And if silence is the wall that keeps my heart safe from the fall, Am I the keeper of a love that never was, after all? Yet, in the echo of my fears, lies the truth I long to say, In a whisper to the night, "Don’t let this love fade away." [Chorus] But if I dared to let it out, if I dared to let you see, Would the love that lives in shadows survive the light of reality? For words unspoken hold us close, in a fragile, dreamlike state, I’m tethered to a hope that fear won’t let me translate. [Outro] So here, in the silence of my heart, where my words find their retreat, I’ll keep you like a secret, bittersweet and incomplete.
