lyrics

I’ve never known a grief as this
a warmer kiss I’ll never give
and I’ll never know the smile of his
or what it is that turned him cold

I’ll never have as many flowers again
until my own days end
I don’t want it to be that such beauty reminds me
of just how empty a body can be

and he will never know the taste of my skin
or the comfort therein
and I’ll never know what I’m missing I guess
but I’m missing nonetheless

I’m sure that this is never meant to be
So don’t say this is God’s way
because God is not thinking of me

no I’ve never known a grief as this
a warmer kiss I’ll never give
as I’ve never been in love like this
and a love like this never ends
