Critical Reception[]
On July 22, 2014 in a track-by-track Billboard review, writer Jason Lipshutz stated: "Swiveling away from the teenage humor of "18," 5SOS aim for the listener's emotions on "Everything I Didn't Say," a tale of romantic regret that even includes some faint string stabs on the bridge. The track glows with meticulous pop production, but the cliched lyrics prevent "Everything I Didn't Say" from hitting its mark." [1]
Lyrics[]
All:
Whoa whoa
This is everything I didn't say
Calum
Wait, don’t tell me, heaven is a place on earth
I wish I could rewind all the times
That I didn't show you what you’re really worth
(What you're really worth)
The way, you held me, I wish that I had put you first
I was wrong I admit, numb from your kiss
While you were slipping through my fingertips
All
Taking every breath away
With all of the mistakes I made
From all the letters that I saved
This is everything I didn’t say
I wish I could've made you stay
And I’m the only one to blame
I know that it’s a little too late
This is everything I didn't say
Whoa whoa
This is everything I didn’t say
Luke
Wake me up now, and tell me this is all a bad dream
All the songs that I wrote, all the wrongs that I hoped would erase from your memory
(Erase from your memory)
Holding onto a broken and empty heart
Flowers I should’ve bought, all the hours I lost
Wish I could bring it back to the start
All
Taking every breath away
With all of the mistakes I made
From all the letters that I saved
This is everything I didn’t say
I wish I could've made you stay
And I’m the only one to blame
I know that it’s a little too late
This is everything I didn’t say
Michael
I hope you know, for you I’d sacrifice
To make this right, whoa whoa
Someday, I’m sure
We’ll pass each other by
Until that time
All
Taking every breath away
With all of the mistakes I made
From all the letters that I saved
This is everything I didn’t say
I wish I could've made you stay
And I’m the only one to blame
I know that it’s a little too late
This is everything I didn’t say
Whoa whoa
This is everything I didn’t say
Whoa whoa
