That Doesn't Rhyme Lyrics © 2026 Nadia Cripps
That doesn't rhyme But does it really matter? What do you find more important? Speaking sincerely or connecting syllables?
I know what I would chose in a heartbeat I need the meaning so much more Before I did try, oh, I tried so hard To find the rhyme when there wasn't one
Now I know, it is the way to go Say what you mean, don't force it Do you sense what I'm talking about? Do you hear me? Can you hear me?
I love you so much I want to reach for you Can I reach for you? Can I?
Maybe if I speak louder, with all the power I have You'll receive what I can give you Do you feel it? Do you feel my love? I wish you could. Oh how I wish you could
My words don't rhyme, no, they don't rhyme Please forgive me, please come back Could you come back someday? Only if the impossible became possible
I miss you so much Each time more and more, and more I look at every star thinking of you What if I go for the rhyme, would I find you?

There’s such a plaintive longing here; it’s powerfully written.
Yesssss, skirmish prompt achieved! I love how much I was craving the rhyme in the "I know what I would chose in a heartbeat" stanza and was denied!
So emotional and no rhyme needed! Wonderful take on the prompt!
Thank you so much, CIndy.
I enjoy the intensity and imploring in these lyrics. I especially dig the last line. Nicely done!
