If I knew All The Words...

If I knew all the words, I would write myself out of here.
If I knew them all, I would write myself near.
If I knew all the words you wanted to say,
You better believe I never would have left that day.

If I knew all the words, I would write myself a letter.
Telling of a time when things will be better.
Better for you and better for me.
This time, far away, I just can't see.

If I knew all the words, I would come back to you.
The words won't come no matter what I do.
I don't know the words, so I can't write myself out.
The words echo in my head, filling me full of doubt.

I don't know the words, so I can't be near.
I miss all the things we once held dear.
I don't know the words you want to say.
So, now I know leaving was right that day.
