It's only because a few things are difficult to say
And we don’t always make the right decision.
We don't always see what we've been given
Not until it's too late.
A few things we have always wanted to say
But never have
A few things unforgotten but left unsaid
Because we can't.
We can't say the words
We can't look each other in the eye
We can't admit
That there is more to you and I.
We look back and look through the spirals the spirals
The twisting spirals, into our past
and all that we regret
We look back at what we now regret
and what once was all that we wanted
What once we didn't even know
What once we never imagined and never believed
What once we never thought could be given.
And what we have now thrown away
I've thrown you away,
you're turning away.
And now you're gone.
I should have known all along
You're not mine anymore
You never were.
I still want you
But that's not enough.
I cannot be enough
It will never be enough
And we don’t always make the right decision.
We don't always see what we've been given
Not until it's too late.
A few things we have always wanted to say
But never have
A few things unforgotten but left unsaid
Because we can't.
We can't say the words
We can't look each other in the eye
We can't admit
That there is more to you and I.
We look back and look through the spirals the spirals
The twisting spirals, into our past
and all that we regret
We look back at what we now regret
and what once was all that we wanted
What once we didn't even know
What once we never imagined and never believed
What once we never thought could be given.
And what we have now thrown away
I've thrown you away,
you're turning away.
And now you're gone.
I should have known all along
You're not mine anymore
You never were.
I still want you
But that's not enough.
I cannot be enough
It will never be enough
