Never Said It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were kids on the same dirt road Same torn knees, same borrowed clothes You stole my fries at the town ball game I called you out, you laughed my name We learned to fight from the same old rain To bite back first, to hide the pain Built a whole world out of want and blame Then you were home in my last name [Pre-Chorus] I held your hand through the hard years Watched our old fear turn to plans I thought there'd always be more time To tell you who I am [Chorus] I loved you too late I loved you too late Now I say your name And it breaks my face I should've told you I should've told you Right there in our room But I let it move [Verse 2] We stacked our lives in a boxy place Wet boots by the door, your hair in place Sunday groceries, your chipped green cup I watched you build, I watched us up Then the floor went still, then the whole world cracked You slipped away and you didn't come back And I stood there with a thousand things Stuck in my chest like wedding rings [Pre-Chorus] I keep hearing your laugh in the next room Like you just stepped out for a while But the words I saved for your last night Still sit here like stone in my mouth [Chorus] I loved you too late I loved you too late Now I say your name And it breaks my face I should've told you I should've told you Right there in our room But I let it move [Bridge] If heaven has a porch light I hope it reaches you If you can hear this falling I need you to know it's true I was yours in the fights In the years we grew I was yours all along I just missed the view [Final Chorus] I loved you too late I loved you too late Now I say your name And it breaks my face I should've told you I should've told you Right there in our room But I let it move I loved you then I loved you then And if one last breath Could send it back again I would tell you I would tell you I was yours from the start I never got the heart
