I Never Told You by Colbie Caillat Written by Colbie Caillat, Kara Dioguardi and Jason Reeves Album: Break Through Track: 7 Lyrics (Tell me if something's wrong): I miss those blue eyes How you kiss me at night I miss the way we sleep Like there's no sunrise Like the taste of your smile I miss the way we breathe But I never told you What I should have said No, I never told you I just held it in And now, I miss everything about you Can't believe that I still want you and after all the things we've been through I miss everything about you Without you I see your blue eyes Everytime I close mine You make it hard to see Where I belong to When I'm not around you It's like I'm not with me But I never told you What I should have said No, I never told you I just held it in And now, I miss everything about you Can't believe that I still want you and after all the things we've been through I miss everything about you Without you But I never told you What I should have said No, I never told you I just held it in And now, I miss everything about you Can't believe that I still want you and after all the things we've been through I miss everything about you Without you

Didi also sang a version of this on American Idol. you should check it out, also. It was really good. Lyrics: You by the light Is the greatest find In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right Finally made it through the lonely to the other side You said it again, my heart's in motion Every word feels like a shooting star I'm at the edge of my emotions Watching the shadows burning in the dark, And I'm in love and I'm terrified. For the first time in the last time In my only life. This could be good It's already better than last And love is worse than knowing You're holding back I could be all that you needed If you let me try You said it again, my hearts in motion Every word feels like a shooting start I'm at the edge of my emotions Watching the shadows burning in the dark And I'm in love and I'm terrified For the first time in the last time in my only I only said it cause i mean it I only mean cause it's true So don't you doubt what i've been dreaming Cause it fills me up and holds me close Whenever i'm without you You said it again, my hearts in motion Every word feels like a shooting star Watching the shadows burning in the dark And I'm in love and I'm terrified For the first time in the last time In my only life
