| She was from the other side of town |
| A place where skin like mine just ain’t around |
| A place of unwritten laws and ancient ways |
| Where no one dares to stray |
| But as our destiny’s were laughing |
| Some how we came to be close friends |
| And now I’m haunted by this crazy secret |
| That’s got me crying till the end |
| How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show |
| How much my heart overflowed, she’ll never know |
| How much I loved her, I couldn’t hurt her so I had to let her go |
| How much it tortures my soul, she’ll never know |
| Every time she looked into my eyes |
| I knew that all she wanted was a sign |
| Oh, but that was the one thing I couldn’t do |
| 'Cause of all the hell they’d put her through |
| They would cast her aside forever |
| And I could never watch her be disowned |
| There’s just no way I won’t put her through it |
| And that’s why she’ll never know |
| How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show |
| How much my heart overflowed, she’ll never know |
| How much I loved her, I couldn’t hurt her so I had to let her go |
| How much it tortures my soul, she’ll never know |
| It hurt so bad to be denied without a reason there is no reason |
| It was too much to keep inside all I could say was goodbye |
| How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show |
| How much my heart overflowed, she’ll never know |
| How much I loved her, I couldn’t hurt her so I had to let her go |
| How much it tortures my soul, she’ll never know |
| How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show |
| How much my heart overflowed, she’ll never know |
