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
