What You Didn't Say Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

I can read your eyes just like a book 

You tell me different, but I know that look 

And I don't have to guess what's between the lines 

So what in the world am I still doing here 

You push me away when I get too near 

Saying love's too simple to analyze 

So why do I feel confused 

Why do I feel so used 

Like a worn-out thought you threw away 

It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say 

Where are the windows, where are the doors? 

I haven't the key to your heart anymore 

I haven't a clue to what's gone wrong 

'Cause you look at me sometimes as if I weren't there 

You say you're listening, but you never hear 

The strains of silence have grown so strong 

I never wanted to doubt you 

But I'd be better off without you 

I'm no good at looking the other way 

It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say 

So look at me one last time 

With eyes that still know how to shine 

Hold me like you won't let go 

But you let go anyway 

No one belongs where they're not wanted 

You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted 

When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay 

It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say 

No baby, it wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
