You were right there beside me, And I thought we had all the time. I kept the words I should have told you Somewhere deep inside my mind. You would reach for me in silence, I would say that I was tired. Never saw the hurt behind your eyes, Never knew how much you needed mine. I thought you'd always know What I was too afraid to show. I thought our love could stand the test Without the words, without the tenderness. I should have held you closer, Said I loved you every day. Should have stopped the world around us Just to hear what you would say. I thought you'd always be there, I thought you'd understand. Now I'd give my whole life over For one more chance to hold your hand. I should have held you closer. God, I wish I'd held you closer. I remember you at the doorway, Waiting for me to look your way. I was lost in all the things that didn't matter, While the years were slipping away. You never asked for grand gestures, Never needed diamonds or gold. Just a little more of me beside you, A hand to hold when nights were cold. I thought you'd always know The love I never learned to show. I thought that time would wait for us, But time was never ours to trust. I should have held you closer, Said I loved you every day. Should have stopped the world around us Just to hear what you would say. I thought you'd always be there, I thought you'd understand. Now I'd give my whole life over For one more chance to hold your hand. I should have held you closer. God, I wish I'd held you closer. If I could stand there in that doorway, If I could have one minute more, I'd put my arms around your shoulders Like I should have done before. I wouldn't try to make excuses, Wouldn't ask you to forget. I'd tell you that you were my whole world, And I'm sorry I made you feel alone. I should have held you closer, Said I loved you every day. Should have seen the tears you swallowed, Heard the things you couldn't say. I thought you'd always be there, I thought we'd have more time. Now your hand is just a memory, And your goodbye is still mine. I should have held you closer. God, I wish I'd held you closer. You were right there beside me. I thought we had all the time. I should have held you closer. 🎵 Music & Story: A Note Between Us 🎬 Previous Song: Do You Still Miss Me Too? | Somewhere in Your Heart #IShouldHaveHeldYouCloser #ANoteBetweenUs #EmotionalBallad #HeartbreakingSong #AcousticLoveSong #LoveAndRegret
