Nína Veil, Blue Blue - The Things We Don't Say

You ask if I've been sleeping well I tell you I've been fine You tell me about your sister I tell you about mine We find a hundred little things That don't ask us to be honest Funny how easy it can be To talk around what's true You almost say my name Then change the subject I almost tell you why But what's the use of it These are the things we don't say The words we leave untouched The questions sitting between us Because saying them means too much These are the things we don't say They follow every conversation You know what I came here to tell you And I know what you're afraid to hear You still remember little things The way I take my tea You still correct me when I'm wrong Like you used to do for me I tell you that you look good You say I've changed a little We both pretend that's all we noticed And let the silence settle You almost reach for my hand Then find something else to do I almost ask you to stay But I know how this will go These are the things we don't say The words we leave untouched The questions sitting between us Because saying them means too much These are the things we don't say They follow every conversation You know what I came here to tell you And I know what you're afraid to hear Maybe we're being careful Maybe we're only being kind Maybe some doors stay open Because we never draw the line But if I leave without saying it Will you know anyway Will you hear it in the way I pause Before I walk away These are the things we don't say The words that never leave us The little truths we carry home Because they're easier left unsaid These are the things we don't say And maybe that's enough You know what I meant to tell you I know you understood No, don't explain I already know Some things are clearer When we don't say them
