Unsent Melody

Lyrics: Friend A Music: Friend A Arranger: Friend A I wrote your name in ink on a crumpled page A melody unspun, stuck in the quiet cage We sat in silence, coffee getting cold Words hung in the air, too heavy to unfold I watched your smile fade with the setting sun Wondered if you felt what I’d barely begun A heart full of notes, but I couldn’t hit play Now it’s just a echo of "what if" and "maybe" The clock ticked loud, but time moved slow I chased the words, but they refused to show You said goodbye with a hesitant wave I let you go, but the song still saves Unsent melody, floating in the dark A love unsaid, left to fade and mark I held it close, like a secret untold Now it’s just a whisper, growing old Unsent melody, stuck in my chest The "I love you" I never confessed We danced around it, till the moment died Now it’s just a memory, softly sighed I found the note today, tucked in an old book The ink has faded, but the feeling looks Just like it did, all those years ago A song I never sang, a love I couldn’t show If I’d mustered the courage, if I’d let the words fall Would we be here now, or just another "almost" Unsent melody, floating in the dark A love unsaid, left to fade and mark I held it close, like a secret untold Now it’s just a whisper, growing old Unsent melody, stuck in my chest The "I love you" I never confessed We danced around it, till the moment died Now it’s just a memory, softly sighed
