Things I'll Never Say Lyrics

La da da da La da da da...

I’m tugging at my hair
I’m pulling at my clothes
I’m trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I’m staring at my feet
My checks are turning red
I’m searching for the words inside my head
I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What’s on my mind?
If ain’t coming out
We’re not going anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care
(Cause) I’m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you’re worth it
You’re worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

What’s wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter
I stumble
Like I’ve got nothing to say
Yes, I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

La da da da La da da da...

Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

If I could say what I want to say
I’d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Yes, I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say

These things I'll never say

this song pretty much sums up how i feel about this guy. i've known him for practically forever and i still haven't gotten up the courage to let him know how i feel. don't you love it when you find songs like that? it's great, and you feel like they're written especially for you. man, if only i had enough balls to go tell him how i feel....anyways, i love this song with all my body, and my heart too

i love this song it shows that avril is really mature for a 17 yr old.

BTW it makes me laugh when she says "I’d say I want to blow you..............away" hehe thats soo funny. dunno if its intentional but i'd like to think its her little joke.

Wow. She might be mature for her age, but it's really immature to think that's so funny. I don't think it's intentional because it's an adorable song.

@MorningStar Also - I want you to go down..... on one knee. Clearly some double entendre happening

heh. Allister, the words may not be so profound to the point that you have to pick-apart the piece and go into some in-depth interpretation of the song, but the words are written simply and straight forward. Avril accomplishes her goal in letting others know her wishes to tell a guy that she likes/is falling in love with him, but that something is holding her back or that she is too shy. This song is one people can relate to (including myself), and I think the quality in how a song is sang can make up for all of the difference in a song not being the most original in words, and this song is a good example of Avril's talent in making a simple song sound great.

i love this song . it's like a crush song to me , or when your in love with someone . This really does describe how most girls , even guys , feel when they have an interest in someone . They get so nervous , they never build of the confidence to really tell them that they like them . So , then they start to stress out about it , how to tell the person , but not to sound like a dummy when they do .

yeah, the part "i want you to go down on one knee" sounded very much like something else as well...but i don't think it was intentional either times...but it was pretty funny

One of the songs that helped me reach the decision to come out to my parents, friends, and the girl who is now the love of my life. Sitting on the shore of Portage Lake up in Houghton, MI, looking out at the beautiful fall stars, and listening to Avril on my iPod, doing a lot of introspection.

this song is really really sweet. and the line you can't get is "what use is it to you what's on my mind" i believe.
