lyrics

I don't know quite how to start this
I don't know quite how this ends
I let my heart do all the talking
If you let your heart take it in
I don't write these words to help my thinking
I found all my answers long ago
And I don't stay up nights deprived of sleeping
Because I like the feeling of alone

I didn't ask about your dreams for conversation
Or ask about your future to see an end
It's all so I could paint myself a picture
And see if there's a place that I fit in
I didn't pick up all your calls when I was sleeping
Because I want to be another friend
I didn't give you everything you've ever wanted
To watch you give it all to him
But you don't know the half of it, darlin'
No, you don't know how it's been

I don't recall the details of our moments
By the flawless memory that I don't have
I didn't learn the things that make you smile
Without a hope to make you laugh
I didn't drive to see you for vacation
I don't sing your songs in search of fame
But I found something I believe in
And I don't have the choice to walk away

So go ahead and conquer your world now
It's okay if walk away from mine

But I don't think you hear me
No, I don't think you understand
My silent heart is beating
You will never know the man I am

I never thought to tell you that I love you
I never wanted you to think it wasn't real
I never wanted to be grouped with all the dreamers
'cause they don't hold a light to what I feel
I guess I planned it all except the ending
I guess I fit it all inside a song
I guess you got it all now, darlin'
So I can try moving on
Yeah, I'll try moving on
