I threw your picture in the fire
I watched you melt away
You turned to smoke, you burned my eyes
But I couldn't escape
My love for you remains
So why was I afraid?
When you were next to me
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
They said we never would survive
And I believed the lies
And then their words were verified
When I replaced my heart for your demise
But you were always on the side
When you were next to me
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
Why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand
The way you love
The way you were when no one was looking
That you were beautiful and you were worth it all
You were everything I need
You captured my attention
Did I mention I think you're beautiful, darling?
If I could tell you now
I'd tell you how the world is dark now that you're missing
Now that you're missing
When you were next to me
Why didn't I tell you?
You were so good to me
And why didn't I just take back everything I said to you?
And take back everything I put you through?
Why didn't I tell you?
I love the way you understand
The way you love
The way you were
Why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
And you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
You captured my attention, did I mention?
So why didn't I tell you?
That you were beautiful
That you were worth it all
So why didn't I tell you?
