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 stray      But 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 end      How 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 know      Every 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 through      They 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 know      How 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 know      It 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 goodbye      How 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 know      How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show   How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know
