Things I Never Got the Chance to Say Lyrics

I loved you, hell I think I still do

Were you scared away by me feeling too much too soon

What are you looking for that I don't have

Did you sugarcoat it all to make it hurt a little less

I miss you, hell I think I always will

Did you ever read the letter I sent you in the mail

I never wanted the upper hand, just wanted a fighting chance

To be there for you like no one ever has

But I didn't get my happy ending with you

So I took a pen to paper for survival to get through

Now I see these songs are the collateral beauty of a heartbreak

Maybe that is worth the price I paid for the one that got away

If I'm not the thing that will keep you happy

Then I care enough to say goodbye

I'm all out of tears to cry

But I hope one day you'll hear

The things I never got the chance to say

When I feel alone, I listen to Kip and Koe

Wish you could've seen my favorite spots out in Idaho

And most nights as I try to fall asleep

I still wonder what would've been enough for you to keep

If I could ease all your fears and make your dreams come true

You should know that I'd do anything for you

Now I see these songs are the collateral beauty of a heartbreak

Maybe that is worth the price I paid for the one that got away

If I'm not the thing that will keep you happy

Then I care enough to say goodbye

I'm all out of tears to cry

But I hope one day you'll hear

The things I never got the chance to say

The last night I saw you I misjudged the situation

A mistake I still kick myself for

And if I could, I would tell you I'm sorry everyday til you walk back through that door

I know I can't change the past, no I can't predict the future but hell I wish that I could

This would be much easier if I had closure

I loved meeting your brother and game night with your friends

I'd give anything to be okay walking down third ave again

I hate to be a victim of one-sided goodbye

But I'm winging out a prayer that you're listening tonight

Now I see these songs are the collateral beauty of a heartbreak

Maybe that is worth the price I paid for the one that got away

I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy

But I had to go through hell to be set free

It's my hope in every way that one day

I can thank you for the things I never got the chance to say

I loved you, hell I know I still do

I'm a phone call away if you ever find that you love me too
