If I Never Told You
Unspoken Confessions: Longing, Love, and Uncertainty
Lyrics
I feel sick to my stomach
Expressing a feeling of discomfort or unease.
I got work to do but I still haven't done it
Acknowledging pending work that needs to be done.
I'm wondering, this something I can outrun
Questioning if the current situation can be avoided or escaped.
And I don't feel like laughing because shit isn't funny no more
Feeling a lack of amusement due to serious circumstances.
I thought we had something going
Reflecting on a relationship that seemed promising.
In picking up speed you decided to slow it
Noting a change in the pace of the relationship.
I know it, you feel this but too scared to show it
Perceiving mutual feelings but hesitating to express them.
So before the towel gets thrown in
Anticipating a possible end before giving up.
Is there a world in which I get you to see where this goes
Exploring the idea of a future together.
A world where you change your mind and come running on home
Hoping for a change of heart and a return to the relationship.
Forgive me for overstepping, I don't mean to impose
Apologizing for potential intrusion while expressing feelings.
But I knew I couldn't live if I never told you
Declaring a love that needs to be confessed.
I love you, I do
Reiterating the love for the other person.
Don't tell me that you never felt it
Challenging the other person's denial of shared feelings.
That night in my car serenading the sunset
Recalling a moment of intimacy and connection.
I told you I liked you
Affirming previous expression of liking the other person.
You said that you knew that
Referencing mutual understanding of feelings.
So why did you keep flirting hard if you knew where my head's at
Questioning mixed signals and intentions.
I know, it's because you're there, too
Recognizing the presence of similar emotions in the other person.
I can tell by the way when we hug you inhale my perfume
Observing physical cues of attraction.
And hold onto me like we're glued
Describing a strong and intimate connection.
Like letting me go is the worst thing that you'd ever do
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go.
Is there a world in which I get you to see where this goes
Repeating the desire for a shared future.
A world where you change your mind and come running on home
Reiterating the hope for a change of heart and reconciliation.
Forgive me for overstepping, I don't mean to impose
Apologizing for expressing feelings but affirming their necessity.
But I knew I couldn't live
Emphasizing the importance of confession for personal well-being.
Reconsider
Repeated pleas for reconsideration and acknowledgment of feelings.
Baby, reconsider
-Maybe if you'd reconsider then you'd consider me
-Reconsider
-Baby, reconsider
-Maybe if you'd reconsider then you'd consider me
-Reconsider
-Baby, reconsider
-Maybe if you'd reconsider then you'd consider me
-Reconsider
-Baby, reconsider
-Maybe if you'd reconsider then you'd consider me
-Is there a world in which I get you to see where this goes
Reiterating the desire for a shared future.
A world where you change your mind and come running on home
Expressing hope for a change of heart and a return to the relationship.
Forgive me for overstepping, I don't mean to impose
Apologizing for any overstepping and asserting the importance of expression.
But I knew I couldn't live if I never told you
Repeating the declaration of love for the other person.
I love you, I do
Final reassurance of love.
If I never told you
Reiterating the importance of expressing love.
I love you, I do
Final affirmation of love.
I do, I do
Additional affirmation of love.
