I couldn't hear him when he called to me |
|
I couldn't hear him at all you see |
|
He was down the road away from me |
|
How could i know his answer? |
|
I couldn't hear him 'though he shouted hard |
|
I couldn't hear him in my own backyard |
|
The trains were rattling by above |
|
He never mentioned love |
|
He may have held my hand |
|
When we were walking down the street |
|
He talked about all kinds of things |
|
But none of them were him and me |
|
He looked into my eyes |
|
Just as an airplane roared above |
|
Said something about football |
|
But he never mentioned love |
|
I never heard him all the times he yelled |
|
I never heard him if he tried to tell me |
|
If my memory serves me well |
|
He never mentioned love |
|
I never hurt him 'though he says i did |
|
I never hurt him but i die a bit |
|
Each time he passes on the street |
|
He never mentions love |
|
I used to call him every night |
|
And pray that he was home |
|
I couldn't bear the feeling |
|
I might have to live my life alone |
|
But now my phone is off the hook |
|
The word came from above |
|
It told me i was wasting time |
|
If he never mentioned love |
|
I never heard him if he said he cared |
|
I never heard him, i kept my claws bared |
|
I never heard the things he says he said |
|
He never mentioned he was scared |
|
I never heard him when he asked of love |
|
I never heard him as the skies above |
|
Chucked buckets on the both of us |
|
He never mentioned love |
|
So if i seem hardhearted |
|
I would like the court to note |
|
He never mentioned love to me |
|
In anything he wrote |
|
And if i seem coldblooded |
|
I should like to tell the judge |
|
In all the time i knew this man |
|
He never spoke of love |
|
(or if he did) |
|
I never heard him when he called to me |
|
I never heard him at all you see |
|
He was down the line away from me |
|
He never mentioned l.u.v. |
|
I never hurt him 'though he says i did |
|
I never hurt him i just die a bit |
|
Each time we meet upon the street |
|
We never mention love |
