I Can’t Say

If I’d had the nerve when I was young and you were too
Would I now be living in sweet happiness with you?
If I’d been the one to hold you close and make you stay
Would I still be crying now? Oh baby, I can’t say.

I can’t say I love you ’cause my love just ain’t around.
I can’t find my way away from this hell that I’ve found.
Now I find I need your kisses more each passing day,
I wish you knew I loved you but baby, I can’t say.

We’ve been friends for years and I don’t understand at all
Why it is that when I fell you didn’t see me fall.
I fell so hard, I’m falling still, every single day.
I’d call to you to save me but baby, I can’t say.

I can’t say I love you, I’m a man without a voice.
All the time I’ve known you you’ve already made your choice.
One day soon you’ll understand me, girl, I hope and pray,
Find out how much I love you ’cause baby, I can’t say.
