I never told you this before, but I never told you anything at all,
But then to say in my defense, I never spoke to you in confidence!
I never told you this before, but I never told you anything at all,

But then to say in my defense, I never spoke to you in confidence!

This is the way I was before (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),

But you can't forgive and I can't forget,
You won't ever think that I have changed (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),
'Cause you can't deal with this regret!


Yeah I thought about giving up, I even thought about running away,
But everytime that I saw your face,

I was convinced I should stay.
I've done enough wrong for you, to take this out on me,
But to save the arguments we'll agree to disagree!


This is the way I was before (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),
But you can't forgive and I can't forget,

You won't ever think that I have changed (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),
'Cause you can't deal with this regret!


Yeah we'd talk about having fun, and sleeping at the end of the day,
And then we'd dream about what we'd done, and laugh at the mistakes we'd made.
We only live once so lets waste it all away,

I'd rather die happy than with a frown upon my face!

This is the way I was before (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),

But you can't forgive and I can't forget,
You won't ever think that I have changed (But we could never go back, we could never go back! ),
'Cause you can't deal with this regret!


I never told you this before,
I never told you this before,

I never told you this before,
I never told you this before! (Oh! )


I never told you this before, but I never told you anything at all,
But then to say in my defense, I never spoke to you in confidence!
I never told you this before, but I never told you anything at all,

But then to say in my defense, I never spoke to you in confidence, yeah!
