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 strayBut 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 endHow 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 knowEvery 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 throughThey 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 knowHow 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 knowIt 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 goodbyeHow 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 knowHow much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show
How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know
