The things we never said © 2012 Jim Ferrie Music
Music/ Lyrics by Jim Ferrie

Standing in the home we built together
we marveled at our work
Made to last, magnificent and strong
Like ancient Rome
As we looked toward our future
Like nothing could go wrong

but the doubts came creepin' in and we locked them all away
Now we batten down our hearts afraid of what we'd say...

Now the things we never said
are coming out the walls
they fly around our heads
and slowly fall away
and the dust falls at our feet
as the walls begin to crumble
and tumble all around
the things we never said

Doubts that lead to fear lead to suspicion
that turns into a lie
seals our fate, to do each other wrong
I can't go on
Wanna stop this demolition
And start to build again

We can hold on to our love, and we build it good and straight
We can speak each others' truth, before it gets too late.....

And the things we never said
won't come out of the walls
or fly around our heads
and slowly fade away
if the dust falls at our feet
and the walls begin to crumble
and tumble it's because
of things we never said
