Hidden Words

Intro

Verse 1

The paper’s white, the ink is black and dry

I’ve told a truth, but hidden every lie

Between the greetings and the final line

Are all the secrets that are only mine

​(Verse 2)

I speak of weather and the morning rain

To mask the rhythm of a private pain

It’s easier to talk of common things

Than face the shadow that the silence brings

​(Chorus)

Oh, can’t you see the words I didn’t write

The ones I’m whispering alone at night

They’re hiding in the spaces of the day

The lonely things I simply couldn't say

​(Verse 3)

A casual remark, a sideways glance

I missed the timing and I missed the chance

The most important things are left behind

Inside the dusty corners of my mind

​(Verse 4)

I watch the ink as it begins to fade

Like every promise that we ever made

The letter’s finished and it’s folded tight

To keep the heavy darkness from the light

​(Chorus)

Oh, can’t you see the words I didn’t write

The ones I’m whispering alone at night

They’re hiding in the spaces of the day

The lonely things I simply couldn't say

​(Bridge)

If I could find the courage just to speak

The walls I’ve built would grow so very weak

But I’m a prisoner of the things I know

And so I’ll never let the secret go

​(Verse 5)

So read the ink and read the empty space

And try to find a memory of my face

The loudest heartbeats make the least of sound

When all the heavy words are underground

​(Outro)

I’ll never let it go

The words I didn't say

I'll hide them all away

Buried in the white

Deep inside the night

Just hide them all away

Hidden words stay

Hidden words stay
