Never by Kelida

I never meant to fall in love,
Especially so soon,
You're all I ever dream of,
Nighttime or afternoon.

You're all that I could ever want,
And all I'll ever need again 
You're my lover and my confidant 
My pain and hurt and my best friend.

Never--never--never again 
Never will I forget the pain-- 
The pain I caused to you 

I never thought that we would last, 
But this time I was wrong 
I thought that you'd be in the past, 
By this point in the song 

I wish you were still here to hear 
Exactly how sorry I am 
Please forgive me soon, my dear, 
Please realise just how lost I am (without you) 

Never--never--never before 
Has one of our fights evolved to a war 
Why did I start it now? 

I've never been in love 'till now 
I never expected or wanted to be 
Sometimes these things happen, but how 
Oh how I could do that, I'll just never see 

I suppose I thought you wouldn't know, 
I didn't think that I'd get caught 
I surely didn't think you'd go,
But mostly I just don't think I thought. 

Never--never--never again, 
Will I hurt you the way that I hurt you then 
The question now is: Will you forgive me?
