The hardest thing to say

Voiceless

Say something
you whisper to me
I look at you
and you're all that I see

Say it isn't true
you whisper to me
Say this isn't the way
it's meant to be

I look you in the eye
but I have nothing to say
No words to speak
to stop you from going away

I choke on syllables
the words won't come
I've lost my voice
and gone dumb

So many things to say
So many things to explain
I see you waiting to listen
Waiting in vain

I could pretend
I could lie
Rather than let
love fade away and die

I could pretend
I never did you wrong
That I was faithful to you
all along

But the words
just don't come
I've lost my voice
I've gone dumb

I stole comfort
in another's embrace
We did things
that were far from chaste

I kissed her
and thought nothing of you
I made love to her
as our passion grew

I held her close
like I've held you
I kissed her
like I've kissed you

I've wanted to tell you
to say something
That it was nothing more
than just a fling

But the words
just don't come
I've lost my voice
I've gone dumb

Voiceless
as I walk out the door
I whisper, 'I'm sorry'
I don't love you any more...
