This track original recorded in 2023 and release in September of same year. “What Wasn’t Said” is not an track about heartbreak — it’s an song about what we bury beneath it. It’s about the silence between two people, the glances that should’ve been words, the love that never made it to language.
[Verse 1]
We sat in the dark, both holding back,
A mile of silence between every laugh.
Your eyes asked questions I didn’t hear,
And I answered with silence out of fear.
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I had more time to speak,
But silence doesn’t wait... it leaves.
[Chorus]
What wasn’t said is louder now,
Than every “I love you” I allow.
The truth I buried just to feel brave
Is the thing I take to my grave.
It’s not the fights, or tears we shed...
What broke us was what wasn’t said.
[Verse 2]
I almost told you to please stay,
But pride got in the goddamn way.
Now I rehearse the lines alone,
To a ghost who never calls the phone.
[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn’t lies that made us end...
It’s words I never let you defend.
[Chorus]
What wasn’t said... the space between,
The looks we gave, the in-betweens.
You needed truth, I gave you grace,
But grace won’t hold an empty space.
I should’ve begged, I ran instead...
You slipped through what wasn’t said.
[Instrumental Pause]
[Bridge]
It’s not your voice that haunts the night,
It’s mine... the words I didn’t write.
I didn’t lose you to someone else…
I lost you to myself.
Myself...
[Pre-Chorus]
If you'd turned around that final day...
Maybe we’d still be writing our always.
[Final Chorus]
What wasn’t said... the space between,
The looks we gave, the in-betweens.
You needed truth, I gave you grace,
But grace won’t hold an empty space.
I should’ve begged, I ran instead...
You slipped through what wasn’t said.
Now every song is almost true,
A verse too late to get to you.
I held it in... and that’s what bled...
What killed us was what wasn’t said.
[Outro]
Now every song is almost true,
A verse too late to get to you.
I held it in... and that’s what bled...
What killed us was what wasn’t said.
So if you wonder why I fade,
Know I had everything... but never stayed.
And if you still live inside my head...
It’s just the echo
Of what wasn’t said.
