"Words I Couldn't Say"
Elliot's POV
It was all over. Ale the time we spent together the jokes, all the memories. Cragen told me that you asked for a new partner. All the time I could have revealed how truly deep my love runs, I was too much of a coward to tell you how i felt.
In a book in a box in the closet,
In a line in a song I once heard.
In a moment on a front porch
Late one June
In a breath inside a whisper
Beneath the moon.
The times I should have told you, like after the divorce was final.
There it was at the tip of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my toung
There you were and I had never
Been that far
There it was the whole world
Wrapped inside my arms.
And I let it all slip away. You are my world, I don't know what to do without you next to me knowing that you back my actions 110.
What do I do Know that you're gone
Now back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence
That remains
Are the words I couldn't say
Nothing I can do or say can fix this. Cragen can't fix it.
There's a rain that'll
Never stop fallin'
There's a wall that I've tried to
take down
What I should've said
Just wouldn't pass my lips
So I've held back and now we've
Come to this
And It's Too late now
He told me your decision was final. Now I'm sitting here wishing I could go back and tell you.
Are the words I couldn't say
I should've found a way
To tell you how I felt
Now the only one I'm tellin' was myself
It's too late to tell you now, so I guess I never will.
