TD - Things I Never Said Lyrics

Why didn't I say anything?
Why didn't I talk to you?
Why didn't I tell you something was wrong?
Why did I give up?

There was so much pain
Things I couldn't explain
Every time that I tried
You started to cry
It hurt me too much inside
To paint you as the villain
The reasons I left kept concealed in
I took the blame
Won't slander your name
I care too much to let you feel it
All I wanted was to protect you from the truth
I guess that's the issue
It was too easy to just let you hate me
Instead of debating what we couldn't work through
Cuz you never changed
The things that bothered me were always the same
And I was so stressed
I gave up and left
And that's why I took the blame
Oh no

You say you
Never knew the real reason why I left
I guess I'll write it down
Put it to rest
Cuz every time I speak of you
I'm speakin' from my chest
My heart is in every word
I gave you nothin' less
From the moment that we met
To the moment that I left
I gave you my all
But all I gave was not enough
And everything I said
Was to save you from the pain
I know you don't believe it
Told me every single day
Let's get down to the truth
Unfiltered raw emotion
Let me dig it up
It's what you want right
For me to be open
I guess it's sad the only way I know how
Is into this mic
But it's poetic on a certain level
Loneliest nights
Thoughts flowin' just right
But I get it
It's painful when the only person you wanna help never let you
Enable the fact that he pushes you away
Sittin' in the dark at the dinner table
You had no idea what was comin'
Claimin' he wants to save you

These are the things I never said
Gotta get 'em off my chest
Cuz now you hate me for the wrong reasons
All the lies people told you
You believed 'em
Now it's eatin' at me I
Think about you every night
Everything that we went through
Nothin' mattered in the end you
Listened to the rumors
Welcome to the future
Never thought I'd say
Yeah man I knew her
Never thought I'd see the day
When you would straight hate me
I never wanted you to feel this way
Now lookin' back it all makes sense
We fell apart
And it's all my fault
But you would never validate the things that hurt my heart
You always
Turned it around make me sound like the bad guy
I did you wrong
Told 'em that lie

All I wanted was to protect you from the truth
I guess that's the issue
It was too easy to just let you hate me
Instead of debating what we couldn't work through
Cuz you never changed
The things that bothered me were always the same
And I was so stressed
I gave up and left
And that's why I took the blame
Oh no

Every argument got harder
Had it turn from hopin' we could fix it
Into me bein' a martyr
I would hide in my office
Behind the sounds of silence
I was so focused on your happiness
I gave up on mine 'cuz
Had to put on a show
Yeah I wore a smile
So the people around me wouldn't ask about how
The girl I was suppose to marry was bringin' me down
Or how in the midst of creating our future
I lost myself
I've never been in this position
Wishin' you would listen
Like a bad drug you had me trippin'
Now I'm reminiscin'
The heart in me was hardening
Makin' it hard to be hardly me
And honestly
Yeah I think I lost a part of me I
Hope you're doin' better than I am
Cuz it still kills me knowin' you hate me for what I did
I chose to walk away and get back to me again
But that's a story for another day
Just keep listenin'

There was so much pain
Things I couldn't explain
Every time that I tried
You started to cry
It hurt me too much inside
To paint you as the villain
The reasons I left kept concealed in
I took the blame
Won't slander your name
I care too much to let you feel it
All I wanted was to protect you from the truth
I guess that's the issue
It was too easy to just let you hate me
Instead of debating what we couldn't work through
Cuz you never changed
The things that bothered me were always the same
And I was so stressed
I gave up and left
And that's why I took the blame
Oh no
(Oh no no no oh no)
