There's a Song I Never Played You

Your jacket on the kitchen chair
Boots left by the door
We were talking about nothing
Like we’d done a thousand times before
There was music in the moment
In the space between the truth
Like a song behind the silence
Waiting just for you

There’s a song I never played you
Still humming in my chest
Like a train that never left the station
Or a thought I never said
It was quiet, it was simple
Just a truth I couldn’t prove
There’s a song I never played you
And it’s all about you

I still hear it in the quiet
When the house won’t make a sound
Just a melody half-broken
Circling around
Every line I nearly told you
Every word I let fall through
Built a song inside the silence
That I never gave to you

There’s a song I never played you
Still humming in my chest
Like a train that never left the station
Or a thought I never said
It was quiet, it was simple
Just a truth I couldn’t prove
There’s a song I never played you
And it’s all about you
