He knows each time he holds her
It's love, but he's never told her
He thinks that she knows
He thinks that it goes without saying
That's not the way she planned it
She needs to have a man that can call it by name

[Chorus:]
Unless she knows
The distance grows
Because love goes without saying

Tears fall on the not she's leaving
She can't go on believing an unspoken love
It's just not enough, she's not staying
He wakes and smells the coffee
The clock alarm goes off, he doesn't hear the door close
Doesn't hear as love goes without saying

[Chorus]

He reads the words of the letter
But just can't believe what they say
He cries out, I love you, don't do this
But it's too late she's pulling away

[Chorus]
