Everything I Couldn’t Tell You

Everything I couldn’t tell you
The words they burn as I fall upon my knees
Everything I couldn’t tell you
My heart, it hurts, and my mind is not at ease

But my time is over
As I’m gasping for air

I can’t help but dream
I can’t help but sing
Just like the yellow bird you were dreaming I could be
With everything I couldn’t say

Everything I couldn’t tell you
The truth about everything I can’t control
Everything I couldn’t tell you
A life without you to call my own

But our time is over
And I’m still gasping for air

I can’t help but dream
I can’t help but sing
Just like the yellow bird you wanted me to be
With everything I couldn’t say

I can’t help but dream
I can’t help but sing
Just like the yellow bird you needed me to be
With everything I couldn’t say

I can’t help but dream
(Saying that you’re sorry won’t fix a broken heartbeat)
I can’t help but sing
(And finding out your virtues never really meant much to you)
Just like the yellow bird you wanted me to be
(And every single lie I told you before goodbye)
With everything I couldn’t say
(There’s still so much I couldn’t...)
