The Thing I Failed to Do
Unspoken Love: Frank McComb's Heartfelt Confession
Lyrics
You helped me face the hard times with smiles
You provided support during difficult times with a positive attitude.
You said "it will only last a while"
You reassured that the challenging situation would be temporary.
All my fears I shared with you, always made time to
I confided my fears in you, and you always made time to listen.
Hear me through
You were attentive and heard me out when I needed to express myself.
But my heart is colored blue 'cause the thing I failed
Despite your support, my heart is sad because I failed to say "I love you."
To do was say I love you
I regret not expressing my love, resulting in a sense of longing and sadness.
You see, I never felt worthy of your heart
I didn't feel deserving of your love or affection.
Seeing myself through your eyes I didn't seem very smart
When I saw myself through your eyes, I felt inadequate or unintelligent.
To handle things the way you could or like a street
I lacked the ability to handle situations as well as you or a wise person would.
Smart man would
I didn't possess the street-smart qualities required in challenging situations.
Now I can't deny the truth that the thing I failed to
Now I acknowledge the truth that I failed to express my love.
Do was say I love you
The regret stems from not saying "I love you."
One would never know the things he'll gain until he
We often underestimate the value of expressing our beliefs until we do so.
Uses his voice to say the things he believes
Using one's voice to articulate beliefs can lead to unexpected gains.
Now every time I see your face I'm reminded of that
Seeing your face serves as a constant reminder of the unspoken "I love you."
Thing I failed to dodots and that one thing I failed
The dot-dot-dots suggest a pause or reflection on the failure to express love.
To do was say I love you
The repeated acknowledgment that failing to say "I love you" is a significant regret.
