jim steenvoorden - unsaid words lyrics

[verse 1]
dear ……, it’s been a while, i hope you’re alright
i’ve been up writing this letter in the middle of the night
my ocd won’t let me rest and it’s messing with my head
but anyway, i can’t stop thinking ‘bout the words i left unsaid

i still remember that campfire glow
how your red hair caught the flames, it was stealing the show
you had a spark in your smile that i couldn’t ignore
and in that moment, i knew i just wanted more

i know i got too close, and made you pull away
but i swear i didn’t mean to drive you in full astray
i just at the time didn’t know how to deal with my own pain
i didn’t stop to think that you might feel the same way

[chorus]
so here’s my letter, the words that i could never send
the thoughts i tried to bury deep, but now they’re spilling out in the end
i’m sorry for my flaws, and for the way i let you see
at the time i just didn’t know how to love you properly

[verse 2]
i saw you every morning, same train, and same seat
i’d sit a few rows behind, just watching you discreet
sometimes i wish i had the guts to say something real
but at the time i stayed silent, afraid of how you’d feel
and then we spoke, just a moment or maybe it was two
we got off the train, and you bought some breakfast like you always do
but i wasn’t the person you needed back then, and not now
i just can’t see past my own pain, i think i’d be to foul

i know i crossed the line with the things i’d say
dropped my problems on you, and scared you away
you had your own battles that i couldn’t even see
and instead of supporting you, i made it all about me

[chorus]
so here’s my letter, the words that i could never send
the thoughts i tried to bury deep, but now they’re spilling out in the end
i’m sorry for my flaws, and for the weight i let you see
at the time i just didn’t know how to love you properly

[bridge]
now that you’re gone, and i’m still stuck with the ache
i’m tracing every memory like i’m some kind of mistake
was it something i said? was it something i did?
or was it just who i was, is that what made you quit?

i’d give anything to rewrite the past, almost like this letter
to turn back time and make all things better
but the truth is i’m stuck, still chasing your ghost
writing letters to the girl i wanted the most
[verse 3]
but i hope you’ve found peace, and i hope you’re okay
even if i’m still lost, by the thought of letting you slip away
i wanted to be the one who helped you through
but instead, i was actually the weight pulling down on you

if i could speak to you now, i’d tell you i’ve grown
learned how to carry all my pain on my own
but that’s a lie, the chance is gone, and so are you
and all i have left is this stupid letter that i’m writing you

i don’t know if you’ll read this, or maybe you’ll just toss it straight away
but these are some of the words that i’ve been meaning to say

[outro]
i’ll let you go now, it’s the least i can do
but a part of me will always belong to you
these unsaid words are all that remain
a letter to the girl, who left me in pain
