WHEN MY WORDS CAN’T REACH YOU — BadRonin

WHEN MY WORDS CAN’T REACH YOU I wrote your name where no one sees, Between old scars and memories. I tried to speak, I tried to stay, But every word got in the way. I know that sorry comes too late, And love can't always bargain fate. But if one piece of me gets through, There's one last thing I'd say to you. If my voice falls short tonight, If every sentence loses light... When my words can't reach you, When my voice can't find the way, When every "I still love you" Dies before I get to say— When my words can't reach you, And there's nothing left to prove, Let the silence speak between us... Let it tell you how I love you. I kept the things I should have said, Alive inside my stubborn head. The simple truths I hid too long Became the saddest kind of song. No grand goodbye, no final scene, Can change the places we have been. And if your heart has closed its door, I'll leave these words outside once more. If my voice falls short tonight, If every sentence loses light... When my words can't reach you, When my voice can't find the way, When every "I still love you" Dies before I get to say— When my words can't reach you, And there's nothing left to prove, Let the silence speak between us... Let it tell you how I love you. I have no better words to choose. No final argument to lose. So if my voice can't make it through, I'll let this broken song find you. When my words can't reach you, When my voice can't find the way, When every "I still love you" Dies before I get to say— When my words can't reach you, I'll ask nothing back from you. Just hear the silence breathe my name... And know my heart was always true. If you heard what I could never say... Then maybe I reached you anyway.
