Never meant to be (take 2)

I'm alone here in the dark,

My mind spiraling, with a heart that's torn apart.

He's there, out the corner of my eye,

I can see him watching me.

I wanted him, he wanted me,

But we were never meant to be.

A love we had to keep inside,

A thousand words we couldn't say aloud.

You were the one I couldn't keep,

The name I whispered in my sleep.

You were the one I couldn't keep,

The name I whispered in my sleep.

We had a love we couldn't show,

And now you're someone I can't know.

So why are you still haunting me,

When we were never meant to be?

You made my heart go cold that night,

I drove alone, crying myself to sleep.

Begging you, please, don't leave,

You said I was nothing,

That you never wanted me.

But if I meant nothing, why can't I let go?

Why do I still miss the boy I used to know?

She wanted a life with him, but her parents said no.

They thought he wasn't good enough, so they made him go.

He broke her heart to protect her,

And left her believing he never loved her.
