NEVER ALL OVER AGAIN

NEVER ALL OVER AGAIN

I haven't had much luck with love and I never thought I would ever love again.

I didn't think I could feel love anymore because I knew I could never win.

I always thought love was something special that got better with time.

But it seems people use love to get what they want, and I think that's a crime.

Then I met you, my heart was filled with love and I felt like this time I could win.

The thoughts of never loving again were swept away with the wind.

I wanted to hold you in my arms all through the night.

Kissing your lips made me feel just right.

When I met you I knew you were someone I could go places and do things with to have fun.

I knew you were someone I could sit under the moon with then watch the morning sun.

I just knew you would be the one I could share my hopes and everything I dreamed.

I knew you would be with me forever, or that's the way it seemed.

I wanted to tell you how I felt but didn't know where to begin.

I just wanted to have you forever and for this to never end.

Because of the way my love has gone in the past

I didn't say the words that could have made things last.

If the words I love you would have made you stay.

I would have said it over and over every day.

But I never knew how you felt because you are so hard to read.

I should have said something because you are all I need.

I never saw it coming; I never knew you would run.

Then one day you text me and said you had found another and we were over and done.

I felt sick to my stomach and wondered what had gone wrong.

All I could think of is there goes my love singing the same Ole song.

If I had known the last time I saw you would be the last time, I wouldn’t have let you go.

If there was something I could have done different, it would have been nice to know.

When I think that I will never touch your face and kiss your lips or look into your eyes,

I close my eyes and see your face and all I do is cry.

To never hold your hand in my hand is only just a start.

To never have your heart next to my heart is tearing me apart.

To never have your love seems to be following a trend.

I can see this love thing will be never, all over again.
