I remember when you were just a girl
I was a boy in a big man's world
We had no idea what time would reveal
Little did we know that
Over a million tears had to fall
That is no exageration
'Cause I've counted them all
Every sad and senseless incident
Has been mine to recall
You never gave up, you never gave in
You didn't say no... I can't take anymore of this
You never gave up on me, you never gave in
You refused to believe that love had come to and end
I almost threw it all away
Traded truth for a lie, diamonds for clay
Oh I, almost threw it all away
Through some clever thinking and a strong imagination
I could twist the truth into any configuration

And find myself doing things
That I never dreamed I could do
I've know the kind of pain
Where you can't catch your breath
You sat if this is life
Then please bring me death
Thank God that that wish I made never ever came true
You never gave up, you never gave in
You didn't say no... I can't take anymore of this
You never gave up on me, you never gave in
You refused to believe that love had come to an end
True love doesn't come and go
Here today then gone tomorrow
Doesn't speak the wicked word
That breaks the heart in two
Doesn't renegotiate
What it knows is true
Doesn't give up, give in, throw it all away
