what you didn't say

i can read your eyes just like a book

you tell me different

but i know that look

and i don't have to guess what's between the lines

so what in the world am i still doing here

you push me away when i get too near

saying love's too simple to analyze

so why do i feel confused

why do i feel so used

like a worn-out thought you threw away

it wasn't what you said

it's what you didn't say

where are the windows

where are the doors?

i haven't the key to your heart anymore

i haven't a clue to what's gone wrong

'cause you look at me sometimes as if i weren't there

you say you're listening

but you never hear

the strains of silence have grown so strong

i never wanted to doubt you

but i'd be better off without you

i'm no good at looking the other way

it wasn't what you said

it's what you didn't say

so look at me one last time

with eyes that still know how to shine

hold me like you won't let go

but you let go anyway

no one belongs where they're not wanted

you're just a ghost

and my heart is haunted

when i said goodbye

you didn't even beg me to stay

it wasn't what you said

it's what you didn't say

no baby

it wasn't what you said

it's what you didn't say
