Linda Kasko - The Words Lyrics

I didn't want you to think
I was the clinging type
Not allowing you your space
Always holding on too tight
I was sure that you preferred
That I keep a safe distance
Not speaking words that sounded
Demanding or persistent
I wish I could say I had no regrets
I wish I had given and held nothing back
Now only in my dreams can I pull you near
And whisper the words you were waiting to hear
I thought I'd made the right move
Until the moment you said
I think you're being distant
I'm feeling neglected
Still I thought that your words
Might be devised as a test
To watch for my response
And were only said in jest
I wish I could say I had no regrets
I wish I had given and held nothing back
Now only in my dreams can I pull you near
And whisper the words you were waiting to hear
Whisper the words you were waiting to hear
I never opened up
Or invited you in
I held the words back
That I, I should have spoken
Now I'm left with remorse
Each day I spend alone
That I, that I, that I, didn't speak those words
Just Once, just Once before you were gone
I held back compliments
I didn't offer much praise
Didn't want to confine you
Never called when you were late
Didn't pour out my feelings
Didn't use the word love
And I never, I never let you know
You were all I thought of
I wish I could say I had no regrets
I wish I had given and held nothing back
Now only in my dreams can I pull you near
And whisper the words you were waiting to hear
Whisper the words you were waiting to hear
