[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
