Never was a song I wrote for you
Nothing were the words I sang
No One is who you turned out to be
But still you caused so much pain
I thought we had something
I thought we were bliss
I thought it was forever
Couldn't ever end like this
But now you are gone
Leaving me empty and lost
There's no more to be said
Nothing's all that left to us
Never was a song I wrote for you
Nothing were the words on the page
Nobody is who was meant for me
So why is there so much rage
All the stories and all of the lies
All the promises and the alibis
Vows that were broken
Bitter words that were spoken
Now all I can do wonder why
I thought we were lovers
I thought we were true
I believed in the thought of us
And what we could do
But now you've moved on
Leaving me shattered and dead
There's no future now
How can I go ahead?
Never was the song I sang for you
Nothing were the words you spoke
Nowhere is what's left for us
All turned to ash and smoke
Never was a song I wrote for you
Nothing were the words you said
Nobody is who I really loved
I wish I had Someone instead
from Daughters of the Minstrel, 1967
