Nothing's Said

The opening song on my new album Lifelines is about sliding doors - how a moment's hesitation can change a life, sometimes leaving years of regret for something that might have been... if only.  
Scroll down to listen to the song, or read the lyrics below.

Nothing's Said

I want you to know before you close the door

I wanted to say before you turn away…

but nothing’s said.

You know the words don’t come out easy when you’re

knocking upon my door

the syllables they fade and fall

between the cracks in the floor and the

sentences they stumble and they

slip away unsaid                 

and the silence mocks the muted words

that hide inside my head…

but nothing’s said.

I want you to know before you close the door

I wanted to say before you turn away…

but nothing’s said.

And I know before you go there will be

just one last kiss

then yesterday’s reality will be

just tomorrow’s wish

And I know you can’t judge a leopard by the

spots upon its coat                

but how can you judge the writing on the wall

when it isn’t even wrote.

I want you to know

I really love you so

I wanted to say, yeah, yeah hey hey

don’t ever go away…

but nothing’s said.
