Unsaid
The Fray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not to say I'm right
Not to say today
And not to say a thing tonight
But suffice it to say
We're leaving things unsaid
We sing ourselves to sleep
Watching the day lie down instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
We're both pretty sure
Neither one can tell
We seem difficult
What we got is hard as hell
A hundred thousand words could not quite explain
So I walk you to your car And we can talk it out in the rain
And we are leaving some things unsaid
And we are breathing deeper instead
And we are leaving some things unsaid
I can sing myself to sleep
No more
Not that you're the one
Not to say I'm right
Not to say today
And not to say a thing tonight

Line by Line Meaning
Not that you're the one
It's not about you, I'm not blaming you
Not to say I'm right
I'm not claiming to be correct
Not to say today
I don't have the answers for today's problems
And not to say a thing tonight
Let's just stay silent for now
But suffice it to say
It's enough to say
We're leaving things unsaid
There are things we're not talking about
We sing ourselves to sleep
We're trying to forget our worries by singing
Watching the day lie down instead
The day is ending, but our problems remain
And we are leaving some things unsaid
We're avoiding some difficult conversations
And we are breathing deeper instead
We're trying to relax and calm down
We're both pretty sure
We both have doubts
Neither one can tell
We're both confused
We seem difficult
Our situation is complicated
What we got is hard as hell
Our relationship is challenging
A hundred thousand words could not quite explain
It's impossible to express our feelings completely
So I walk you to your car And we can talk it out in the rain
Let's go for a walk in the rain and discuss our problems
I can sing myself to sleep
I used to sing to forget my worries, but it's not working anymore
