I’ll never, forever, ever be,
What you were beloved to me,
I’ll never plead to the heavens to recreate you,
I know you were a beautiful lie,
But you could never bear to be true.
You’ll never be true ever,
But just lie to me forever,
So I just wished one wish,
For you to be gone,
I can’t believe it was granted,
And for once, had I won.
But you never loved me,
Whatever the hugs may have meant,
Whatever the kisses may have whispered,
You never came back, once you went.
Away, away, and far beyond,
Behind the secretive mountains, and the silvery pond,
You plunged into the depths, were never heard of again,
Yet I spoke of you with love, while people nurtured disdain.
CHORUS
You may have been yourself,
But you were never the one to love,
Never the one to see, not the one to be,
No qualities from the soul above.
No fresh tears on those blue eyes of yours,
No aims, no goals, none of the words of prayers,
It was all a great whirlpool, went right through,
It was all a fantasy to make me love you.
For your letters are still with me,
Bound with those red ribbons, torn with age,
And I try to go deeper and understand,
But memories still flood my heart and mind,
And I’m too afraid of what I might find.
Night after night, you helped me faint,
To sleep, and delve into a trance,
We twirled, we laughed, we shared as well,
Holding each other still in that frolicking dance.
We didn’t think of the coming future or our past,
But we simply weren’t destined to last,
Because as we were clueless, happily so,
The loved not, but hatred was still incognito.
Gleaming in those fake diamonds, we,
However we fought, we were unable to see,
I didn’t know you motives, your intentions,
You never knew how much you meant to me.
For, though we were like sisters, we couldn’t be-
Bonds unconnected, or sacrificing family,
I thought the love was real, or at least the care?
It was all a scenario, simply to ensnare.
CHORUS
You may have been yourself,
But you were never the one to love,
Never the one to see, not the one to be,
No qualities from the soul above.
No fresh tears on those blue eyes of yours,
No aims, no goals, none of the words of prayers,
It was all a great whirlpool, went right through,
It was all a fantasy to make me love you.
For your letters are still with me,
Bound with those red ribbons, torn with age,
And I try to go deeper and understand,
But memories still flood my heart and mind,
And I’m too afraid of what I might find.
You died still in my arms, having forsaken,
You said you’d return, I never asked you when,
So you just were gone one fine day,
I couldn’t bring you back, once you had gone away.
So I just looked at you pictures, learnt you by heart,
It was a cruel end to a compassionate start,
But however was I to repent?
When would you understand it didn’t depend?
On you alone?
Or was I just another girl to be,
Another thing to cripple, and then set free,
Just one more second would you have been alive,
I really would myself, have taken your life.
CHORUS
You may have been yourself,
But you were never the one to love,
Never the one to see, not the one to be,
No qualities from the soul above.
No fresh tears on those blue eyes of yours,
No aims, no goals, none of the words of prayers,
It was all a great whirlpool, went right through,
It was all a fantasy to make me love you.
For your letters are still with me,
Bound with those red ribbons, torn with age,
And I try to go deeper and understand,
But memories still flood my heart and mind,
And I’m too afraid of what I might find.
