[Verse 1:]

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 laughin, some how we came to be close friends

And now i'm haunted by this crazy secret thats got me cryin till the end



[Chorus:]

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



[Verse 2:]

Everytime she looked into my eyes

i knew that all she wanted was a sign

ohh, 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



[Chorus]



It hurt so bad to be denied a reason,

there is no reason

It was too much to keep inside all i could say was good-bye



[Chorus x2]
