Too many yesterdays ago   Music bound unlikely souls in nature   Not the same a common ground was walked    A friendship that defied cliche   Then a question spread like cancer   And since that day his silence hides   The things he couldn't say      So many years have come and gone   (The things he couldn't say)   Like precious treasures trampled on   (Things she couldn't say)   A fear that eats you like decay   (Things they couldn't say)   Unspoken questions drove away   The things he couldn't say      Disconnection separates, all I can do is watch   Like a spectator in a gallery of pain at arms length   Like a grief observed surreal a mannequin acceptance   Of this cruel severance pay   For all the things he couldn't say      So many years have come and gone   (The things he couldn't say)   Like precious treasures trampled on   (Things she couldn't say)   A fear that eats you like decay   (Things they couldn't say)   Unspoken questions drove away   The things he couldn't say       With hearts like finest china   And feet of solid clay   We set indefinite delays   For all the things we couldn't say      So many years have come and gone   (The things he couldn't say)   Like precious treasures trampled on   (Things she couldn't say)   a fear that eats you like decay   (Things they couldn't say)   Unspoken questions drove away   The things he couldn't say      But it's not too late   Say you'll stay forever   Say you'll stay for now   It's not too late   The things they couldn't say
