The Love I Never Felt
The Love I Never Felt
left me crying a river that
never ended,
left me gone without a trace,
cold like the winter breeze...
The Love I Never Felt,
left me believing we were
close like covers and sheets,
The Love I Never Felt,
I say,
left me stranded and lost,
walking the other way.

The Love I Never Felt,
left me believing we were
close like covers and sheets,
The Love I Never Felt,

left me stranded and lost,
walking the other way.

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night “Dear God won’t you please...
Could you send someone here who will love me?”
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means what love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner then he would’ve stayed
And she says…
Who *will* love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means what love really means
He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me. I want to go home”
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said “I know you’ve murdered
And I know you’ve lied
And I've watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen I’ll, I'll tell you that I...”
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love, the love that you never knew
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love, the love that you never knew
