lyrics

If I Don't Get To Tell You
If I never told you that I'm grateful for all that you've done, and If I never told you that I owe you much more than you know, then that proves I'm a fool and I'm hoping you will forgive me. This life can change so fast one day you're here, the next you're gone, boy you're gone and I know that I prefer knowing how it's going to be. It never works out being surprised, it's never what you wanted it to be. I prefer knowing how it's going to end so I can best prepare myself the only way I know how. If I ever told you that I hated the way you mad me feel, and if I ever told you that nothing was all I wanted well then I'm sorry for that too and I'm hoping you will forgive me. I'm just trying to get through this life day by day best I can with what you gave me in all my time. I prefer knowing how it's going to be. It never works out being surprised, it's never what you wanted it to be. I prefer knowing how it's going to end so I can best prepare myself the only way I know how. So if I don't get to tell you and all this left unspoken, and if I don't get to tell you, say if time keeps it away, well then I'm hoping that this song makes it to tape and finds it's way to you. Then I can feel a little stronger when you're gone knowing you're somewhere listening to me. I prefer knowing how it's going to be. It never works out being surprised, it's never what you wanted it to be. I prefer knowing how it's going to end so I can best prepare myself the only way I know how.
