What You'll Never Say

Don't you have work in the morning?
I know you're always up at night
But it's way too late for this conversation
The endless cycle's leaving me tired

I don't think you know what you're doing
You treat me like I'm here just to waste your time
Like a game, you show up, then you're gone
Just leading me on so I can't heal right

I stopped texting to ask how you are
For one word answers if you even respond
You're still making me wait for words you'll never say
I know what you'll never say

I'm sorry for holding your hand when
I knew it was over, didn't give you the closure
I'm sorry for two months of silence
You didn't deserve empty promises

And I'm sorry, I threw away all the time that we spent
I said, "We should stay friends," never called you again
I was too scared to say I made a mistake
I wish I had stayed, but that's what you'll never say

Do you have someone to hold you?
Has somebody else already filled my role?
Is there someone new you can talk but not listen to?
Then leave when that gets old?

This doesn't feel any better
It still hurts like when you left
But the more I think about how you let me down
It feels like it's for the best

I stopped texting to ask how you are
For one word answers if you even respond
I don't wanna wait for words you'll never say
I know what you'll never say

I'm sorry for holding your hand when
I knew it was over, didn't give you the closure
I'm sorry for breaking your heart
When I always promised I wouldn't

And I'm sorry I threw away
Eight months of talking, you gave me your trust
And I know that's not easy for you
Took for granted the things that you gave
I wish I had stayed, but that's what you'll never say
