I threw your picture in the fire
I watched you melt away
You turned to smoke, you burned my eyes
But I couldn't escape
My love for you remains
So why was I afraid?
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
They said we never would survive
And I believed the lies
And then their words were verified
When I replaced my heart for your demise
But you were always on the side
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand,
The way you were when no one was looking
That you were beautiful and you were worth it all
You were everything I need
You captured my attention,
Did I mention I think you're beautiful, darling?
If I could tell you now,
I'd tell you how the world is dark now that you're missing
Now that you're missing
When you were next to me,
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
And why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand,
The way you love,
The way you were
Why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
And you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
You captured my attention, did I mention?
So why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
That you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
If I could tell you now
I'd say I love you
