never knowing

we chose the words
the words chose us
we held each other, cried together
and without a fuss
I buried you
you buried me
we turned our backs on years together and we just grieved
but I’ll hold you dear in my memories
I know that you’ll come back to haunt me in my sweetest dreams
but when daylight comes
and you’re there no more
that when I realise
it’s when it hits home

that i’ll live with never knowing where you’re going
but knowing how you were
that timeless smile you wore
as time wore on
well it was there no more

we chose the words
the words chose us
I wish I’d had the guts to speak when it could still save us
but I let it go
you let it go
there’s nothing much we can do now to change the course

and live with never knowing
where we’re going
but knowing how we were…

no more…
