I Never Told You

There are things I never told you,
Things I promised never to say.
Things with unknown meanings to you,
Things I knew not to say.

There are things I never told you,
Things I was smart enough to not mention.
Things with unknown meanings to you,
Things to capture your attention.

There are things I never told you,
Things I knew could hurt us.
Things with unknown meanings to you,
Things I thought could save us.

There are things I never told you,
Things I never planned to do.
Things with unknown meanings to you,
Things that I still don’t want to tell you.

There are things I never told you,
Things that were important to me.
Things with unknown meanings to you,
I loved you, you see?
