Things We Couldn't Say Lyrics

Photos sitting in a box
Frozen moments that we lost
Broken door hinges were slammed
By abandonments right hand

Go from shout infested air
And every wall's unanswered prayer
From ceilings dripping down with tears
And hallways darkened by my doubt

Cuz love won't come home tomorrow
So I should let my heart know
The things we couldn't say
And now you'll never be my hero
Even if we could have said those
Things we couldn't say

What was now will never be
All my tears are autumn leaves
Leaving me and them alone
In a bright but broken home

To pull the weight of a flat world
Fight a cancer we can't cure
Waiting for the sky to fall
Silence built these prison walls

And love won't come home tomorrow
So I should let my heart know
The things we couldn't say
The things we couldn't say
And now you'll never be my hero
Even if we could have said those
Things we couldn't say
Things we couldn't say....

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow. The words to this song are simply beautiful. Is this one of her new songs ? I'm guessing since I can't find it anywhere.

Anyways. When I first read these words I personally think divorce, or separation .. but i may be wrong. The things like "shout infested air, and doors that were slammed," make me think fighting. The part about "Love won't come home tomorrow" makes me think of someone leaving. Maybe a father, and the amazing lyrics like "You could never be my hero, and in a bright but broken home" are simply amazing. It's everything I've ever felt.

Thats simply my interpretation of the song.. hopefully more people will post. I love Katy. She's an amazing song writer and singer
