He was finally going to tell her
What was really on his mind
Something that had bothered him
For a long time
And he was ready now
He’d gotten up his nerve
But when she walked through the door
He could not say a word
He was choking
On the things that were not said
Through years and years back to back
In the same bed
She felt lonely
And somehow misunderstood
She thought about walking out
But she never could
She just wrote it all down
She put it in a book
And then she hid it away
Somewhere he’d never look
She was choking
On the things that were not said
Through years and years back to back
In the same bed
It’s a hard habit to break
Time follows time
Then it’s all too late
And memories fade
Photographs become
All we have to measure
The distance that we’ve come
Familiar faces
But strangers nonetheless
Each in different worlds
With nothing to confess
Just choking
On the things that don’t get said
Through years and years back to back
Through years and years back to back
In the same bed
