Never

Never say you love me
Never say you do
Never speak to me unless
You find your words are true
Never touch my mourning face
Never lean my way
Never try to kiss my lips
Next week, tomorrow, today
And never try to stay behind
With me when everyone has gone
Never stay up all the night
Thinking of me till dawn
I'm only passing by
I'm only passing through
I'm only stopping for a bit
And not to stop for you
I never looked for love
I never expected it see?
I never wanted to hear you say
"I love you. Stay with me"
Never try to steal me
Never force my mind
Never wipe the single tear
The trickles from my eye
Never hold me closer
Never tempt me with treats
Never make me promises
That we know you'll keep
And never try to carry me
On your back when I fall
Never try to heal me
With energy from your soul
I'm only passing by
I'm only passing through
I'm only stopping for a bit
And not to stop for you
I never looked for love
I never expected it see?
I never wanted to hear you say
"I love you. Stay with me"
