What We Never Said

from Coming To A Theatre Near You by Zanda Myrande

about

One of Verneen's sweet and intricate songs about relationships that begin, end, or in this case, through nobody's fault, never quite come off.

lyrics

WHAT WE NEVER SAID
(Verneen)

Among the scented flowers
We walked for hours and hours
And talked of this and that
How's your sister, how's your cat
And the talk went on
Till the sun was gone
And I looked into your eyes
As we told our easy lies
Pretending nothing strange was happening
Pretending this was not goodbye...

What we never said
Hangs between us still
As it always did
And it always will
And though time goes by
Like the stars above
All the years ahead
Hold the memory of
What we never said.

It began to rain
As we caught the train
And we laughed as we got in
Shaking raindrops from our skin
And we found a seat
The wheels picked up the beat
And we talked, your hand in mine
As the train sped down the line
And in the torrent of our talking
Somehow the truth got left behind...

What we never said
Dwindled in our wake
'Cause I couldn't give
What you wouldn't take
And it haunts my mind
And won't fade away
That our chance is fled
We can never say
What we never said.

Was it politeness or just fear
That kept the words unspoken?
If I had dared to say it clear
Would my heart now be broken?
Would I be there, would you be here,
Would we have found a way to make it happen?
Make it happen...

And now this city street
Has made my pain complete
For you just passed me by
Didn't even catch my eye
And if I called your name
It would be just the same
You'd greet me with a smile
And we'd stand and talk a while
And neither one of us would break it
The silence louder than a scream...

What we never said
It would still remain
For the chance we had
Won't come round again
And though I might dream
Of the things I'd do
All my dreams are dead
I can't say to you...
What we never said
Has grown much too wide
Couldn't cross it now
Even if we tried.
It would snap the thread
Of our destiny
I can't face the dread
That you might say to me...
(rpt chorus 1)
