My Words Lyrics

All these years you took to mend

Every scar you tried to blend

You held me up when I was broken

Now you wish my words unspoken

The time and love you gave to heal

Now you want my silence surreal

But I'll hold back all I wanna say

Maybe you'll miss me when I go away

So I'll keep my words to myself

Lock them away on a dusty shelf

Maybe then you'll miss my voice

But it won't be there it's my choice

Every whisper every sigh

I kept them close I don't know why

Now you ask for quiet nights

A silence that cuts deep no fights

The echoes of the love we knew

They'll fade away just like the dew

I'll step back into the shadows

Maybe you'll miss me when it shows

So I'll keep my words to myself

Lock them away on a dusty shelf

Maybe then you'll miss my voice

But it won't be there it's my choice

In the quiet you'll hear the pain

The years we spent won't be in vain

But you'll miss the songs I used to sing

And the joy my words would bring

So I'll keep my words to myself

Lock them away on a dusty shelf

Maybe then you'll miss my voice

But it won't be there it's my choice

Maybe then you'll understand

The silence that fills this empty land

And when you miss the voice that's gone

You'll know it's too late to hold on
