Which is worse? The said or the unsaid?


“The Older I Get”
by Skillet

The walls between you and I
Always pushing us apart
Nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between our calm and rage
Started growing shorter,
Disappearing slowly day after day

I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder

The older I get
Will I get over it?
It’s been way too long for the times we missed
I didn’t know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I’ll get over it
It’s been way too long for the times we missed
I can’t believe it still hurts like this

The time between those cutting words
Built up our defenses
Never made no sense it just made me hurt
Do you believe that time heals all wounds?
It started getting better
But it’s easy not to fight when I’m not with you

I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder

The older I get
Will I get over it?
It’s been way too long for the times we missed
I didn’t know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I’ll get over it
It’s been way too long for the times we missed
I can’t believe it still hurts like this

What was I waiting for?
I should’ve taken less and given you more
I should’ve weathered the storm
I need to say so bad
What were you waiting for?
This could have been the best we’ve ever had

I’m just getting older
I’m not getting over you, I’m trying to
I wish it didn’t hurt like this
It’s been way too long for the times we missed
I can’t believe it still hurts like this

I was going to try to right out this great post, but I find myself too emotional right now. For now, I’ll just leave you this this other song.

“The Last Night”
by Skillet

You come to me with your scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn’t want you to see me cry, I’m fine

But I know it’s a lie

This is the last night you’ll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I’m everywhere you want me to be
The last night you’ll spend alone
I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won’t let go
I’m everything you need me to be

Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don’t know you like I know you
They don’t know you at all
I’m so sick of when they say
It’s just a phase, you’ll be o.k., you’re fine

But I know it’s a lie

This is the last night you’ll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I’m everywhere you want me to be
The last night you’ll spend alone
I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won’t let go
I’m everything you need me to be
The last night away from me

The night is so long when everything’s wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight

This is the last night you’ll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I’m everywhere you want me to be
The last night you’ll spend alone
I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won’t let go
I’m everything you need me to be

I won’t let you say goodbye
And I’ll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me
