Never Knowing
In the darkness of the night,
In the hours before dawn,
I have cried a million tears.
Is there somewhere in your heart,
A little space for me ?
In some forgotten nook, please take a look
For me.
​
CHORUS
‘Cause never knowing,
Never knowing, turns me cold.
Did you ever care ?
Did you even want me there ?
Did you know with what dispare
I have wanted you ?
Now I’ve lived so many years
And bent as many ears ;
Tried to share, tried to bear,
This empty longing.
Never knowing,
Never knowing,
What you felt.
​
Never knowing,
Never knowing,
if you loved me ?
​
Never knowing,
Never knowing,
then you died.
But that’s not the end for me !
The shame in your eyes
Made me realize
THAT shame, that shame
Is your own.
And I am not alone.
People that love me
they call me Mom.
And I have love to give,
Inspite of you.
But never knowing,
Never knowing,
turns me cold.
​
Never knowing,
Never knowing,
Got fucking...old.
