All the words of yesterday
Were just words we never said
All the thoughts of you
That danced in my head
Got lost somewhere
In the tears I shed
So many words I couldn't say
From behind my wall of shame
So much time that passed silently by
And you're gone now
Gone as quietly as you came
Such a beautiful face
Lost and without a name.
In my mind
I thought you'd always be there
I couldn't have been more wrong
Cause now that I'm left with your loss
I cry it out in every Def Leppard song
A very needy part of me
Wants that one last chance
But reality is never fair
And I know that you got to fly free to believe
Even if you leave me waiting here, to grieve
I look out over the path of
If only, wishes, and regret
It nearly breaks me to think that
You thought you were so easy to forget
All of the words I couldn't say
Are all but whispers
On the pages of my memory
All the words
Like a thousand sparkling stars
Bear witness to me missing you
And loving, and living out past
The mystery of you.
