what i should’ve said
when i didn’t say
i am mystified
i get swept away
it was in my heart
but it left my head
when i didn’t say
what i should’ve said

what i should’ve said
if i’d done it right
is i need you here
throughout the night
it was in my heart
but it left my head
when i didn’t say
what i should’ve said

*i don’t know why i’m so afraid destined to relive every last mistake i’ve made
could’ve saved a lot of pain
and every tear you shed
pages full of words i should’ve said

sometimes we blend
like sweet harmony
sometimes we sing
in 2 different keys
but you’ve touched my heart
and i lose my head
it’s never what you say
or what you should’ve said

what i should’ve said
when i hurt you so
is take me there
& don’t let me go
it was in my heart
but it left my head
when i didn’t say
what i should’ve said

*CHORUS

**lost in translation from my heart to your ears
short of expectations it’s what you feel not what you hear
