Every couple of nights I think about what happened to us
If we loved each other, why didn't we take the step we never took?
And there are nights when I know that it was me who messed up
But then I remember that you did too
Feeling guilty looking for someone to blame
How it hurt, those 'I love you's when nobody said them
Hoping to hear them someday
Seeing who'd be the first to cave
And we keep waiting our whole lives, still
Every couple of nights I think there was always a reason
Why it never worked out for us
Maybe it really was for the best
There are nights when I know, when I see you again
When I see you again, it won’t, it won't be the same
Neither better nor worse, just different
Feeling guilty looking for someone to blame
Oh, the time ran out on us
How it hurt, those 'I love you's when nobody said them
Hoping to hear them someday
Seeing who'd be the first to cave
And we keep and keep on waiting still
Each on their own, because we kept quiet
Because we were never honest
Oh, it never came out for you
To say 'I love you' to me
Everything I dreamed, everything I kept to myself
Everything we could've been and here we are still waiting
And waiting for you to come see me again, here I stay
How it hurt, those 'I love you's when nobody said them
Hoping to hear them someday
Seeing who'd be the first to cave
