Never Said I Love You

I've told you that I want you

I've held you in my arms

I've whispered in your ear

I don't wanna be apart

I wanted nights to last forever

But knew forever'd just be damned

Yeah, I know goodbye's never easy

Girl believe me

One day, you'll understand

Why I never said I love you

I never said I could

And it ain't that I don't want to

Hell, even if I should

It's best that I don't try

I'd hate to have to lie and act like this good thing won't die

Baby, that's why

I never said I loved you

I bet you hate me, and I get it

Hell, most nights, I hate me too

There ain't a streetlight in this city

That ain't turned on for me, and you

And when all is said and done

It's probably better off this way

Someone somewhere's gonna catch you

And mean the words I couldn't say

I never said I love you

I never said I could

And it ain't that I don't want to

Hell, even if I should

It's best that I don't try

I'd hate to have to lie and act like this good thing won't die

Baby, that's why

I never said I loved you, no

I never said I loved you

I never said I could

And it ain't that I don't want to

Hell, even if I should

It's best that I don't try

I'd hate to have to lie and act like this good thing won't die

Baby, that's why

I never said I loved you

I never said I loved you
