Words repeated under one's breath,
words swallowed by fear...
words thought but never said,
words she needs to hear...

Though they are now forgotten
and left far in the past,
this pretend that all is fine
will not for too long last...

Smiles will hide the pain away,
while tears refuge beneath the heart
but then that day when she breaks down
you'll know you had a part.

Wasn't "goodbye", just "see you later"
the way you tortured her
for while she wished only the best
those memories still hurt.

And while it's clear you should let go,
there's more you wish to say.
but you don' t dare, you're living scared
...she's waiting for that day.

When words uttered beneath your breath,
and words swallowed by fear...
words that you thought but never said,
become truths for her to hear...
