What The Radio Didn’t Say

Verse:
Hanging on static, late night drive
Scared to death of the radio dial
'Cause every song that’s coming on
Reminds me of what went wrong

I don’t wanna hear love songs, break ups songs,
“Ya gotta move on, move on"
Every back beat rhythm pulling me in
Like a fresh cut all over again

Chorus:
What the radio didn’t say
Is she’d wreck my heart then run away
No, I never saw it coming 'til it was too late
What the radio - radio didn’t say

How to fight the tears and stay strong
How to think straight with the stereo on
Or the words to pray when the night gets long
What the radio - radio didn’t say

Post hook:
What the radio - what - what the radio
What the radio - what - what the radio

Verse 2:
Station to station it's all the same
Might as well be calling her name
Coltrane or “Dock of the Bay”,
“He Stopped Loving Her Today”

Like it’s the same ride, same vibe
Same song that used to make us feel alive
Is "Killing me softly” that melody
Keeps making a mess of me

Chorus:
What the radio didn’t say
Is she’d wreck my heart then run away
No, I never saw it coming 'til it was too late
What the radio - radio didn’t say

How to fight the tears and stay strong
How to think straight with the stereo on
Or the words to pray when the night gets long
What the radio didn’t say

Bridge:
Was how to keep from driving over when I know your home
And how to keep from calling when I’m all alone
How long its gonna take
'Til I’m not gonna break
Every time the music the plays
That’s what it didn’t say

Chorus Out:
What the radio didn’t say
Is she’d wreck my heart then run away
No, I never saw it coming 'til it was too late
What the radio - radio didn’t say

What the radio didn’t say
Is she’d wreck my heart then run away
No, I never saw it coming 'til it was too late
What the radio - radio didn’t say

What the radio - what - what the radio
What the radio - what - what the radio
Didn’t say - didn’t say
