WHY CAN’T I JUST TELL YOU
James Connell

Why can't I just tell you
How much you mean to me?
Do I have to show you
Do you have to see?

When words and wants don't match up
When touch is all or none
Why can't I just tell you
What can and can't be done

I know we paid a cost
and felt the loss
To love the way,
The only way we knew

Hear me when I tell you
How much you mean to me
You have truly shown me
How much I’ve left to be

I can be with someone
Give all that I can give
And know no more is needed
And this is how to live

Now I can say goodbye
Not asking why
We loved the way
The only way we knew.

Now I can say goodbye
Not asking why
We loved the way
The only way we knew.
