THE PAIN of NEVER

A love unfulfilled, a dream that was killed, it lasts forever
A name never known, no interest shown, the pain of never
Over counter glances, false romances
All so close and yet so far away

It lasts forever, the pain of never
So much beauty yet so little time
It lasts forever, the pain of never
So much beauty, yet none of it mine
I feel the pain of never all the time

A kiss never kissed is a kiss always missed, never living your dream
A word never said, just silence instead, it's a life never been
I'll never tell you, you'll never know
The hurt and the heart ache won't go
You never saw me and you'll never know, but now I must go
You may as well be a star up in the sky
The distances between you and I

It lasts forever, the pain of never
So much beauty in so little time
It lasts forever, the pain of never
So much beauty, yet none of it mine
I feel the pain of never all the time
