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
Or it's only a game that they're playing

Unless she knows, the distance grows
Because love goes without saying

Tears fall on the note, 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

Unless she knows, the distance grows
Because love goes without saying

He reads the words of her 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

Unless she knows, the distance grows
Because love goes without saying
Love goes without saying
