We Didn't Sing

Verse 1

We booked the tickets back in May

Two seats to somewhere far away

I still remember how you laughed

When I mispronounced the street

You didn't correct me

You just held my hand

Pre-Chorus

Now the calendar's a graveyard

Of everything we swore we'd do

And I'm scrolling through the pictures

Looking for the girl I knew

Chorus

We were supposed to make it

We were supposed to last

Now I'm packing up the suitcase

With the ghost of what we had

Paris in the rain

Milan in the spring

Every pretty city

Just a place we didn't sing

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, we didn't sing

Oh-oh, we didn't sing

Verse 2

You'd fall asleep before I spoke

I'd rehearse the words and watch you close

Your eyes against the window light

I loved you loud

You loved me quiet

And neither one was right

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm standing in the airport

With a boarding pass for two

But there's only one of us

Walking through

Chorus

We were supposed to make it

We were supposed to last

Now I'm packing up the suitcase

With the ghost of what we had

Paris in the rain

Milan in the spring

Every pretty city

Just a place we didn't sing

Bridge

The bitter thing about silence

Is it sounds like giving up

I had a hundred speeches ready

But they never were enough

Never enough

Never enough

Chorus

We were supposed to make it

We were supposed to last

Now I'm folding up the postcards

Of a love that moved too fast

Paris in the rain

Milan in the spring

Every pretty city

Just a place we didn't sing

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, we didn't sing

Oh-oh, we didn't sing
