Leighton Meester: Words I Couldn't Say

 

Leighton Meester: Words I Coudn't Say 

In a book, in a box, in the closet 
In a line, in a song I once heard 
In a moment on a front porch late one June 
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon 

There it was at the tips of my fingers 
There it was on the tip of my tongue 
There you were and I had never been that far 
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms 

And I let it all slip away 

What do I do now that you're gone 
No back up plan, no second chance 
And no one else to blame 
All I can hear in the silence that remains 
Are the words I couldn't say 

There's a rain that will never stop fallin' 
There's a wall that I tried to take down 
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips 
So I held back and now we've come to this 

And it's too late now 

What do I do now that you're gone 
No back up plan, no second chance 

And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

I should have found the way to tell you how I felt
Now the one I'm telling is myself

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say..


**Just found this video of Leighton Meester on Youtube.
Leighton Meester's version of Words I Couldn't Say from Rascal Flatts is superb! :))
