Lyrics
NEVER c) 2024 Words/music S Haworth
V1
So you never knew love before
Couldn't kick out an open door
Did you find a good place to hide
And you never knew love before
V2
Can tell the joy from the pain
50 reasons to try again
What on earth are you trying to say
That you never knew love before
Bridge part 1
You know a face can hide the lies
I see deception in your eyes you say you never knew love before
Remember all you say is proof
You're telling me the gospel truth you say you never knew love before
Bridge part 2
You know a face can hide the lies
I see deception in your eyes you say you never knew love before
Remember all you say is proof
Your telling me the gospel truth you say you never knew love before
never knew love before, never knew love before
never knew love before
CH
I don't see why I should believe the lines you're spinning me
You're smiling now I could concede the truth has stretched beyond belief
Hey could we start from scratch pretending we had never ever met
I think I met the match my matchless heart was hoping to forget
Hoping to forget
Bridge part 2
You know a face can hide the lies
I see deception in your eyes you say you never knew love before
Remember all you say is proof
You're telling me the gospel truth you say you never knew love before
never knew love before , never knew love before
never knew love before
CH
I don't see why I should believe the lines you're spinning me
Your smiling now I could concede the truth has stretched beyond belief
Hey could we start from scratch, pretending we had never ever met
I think I met the match my matchless heart was hoping to forget
Hoping to forget, hoping to forget,
Hoping to forget, hoping to forget,
