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, somehow we came to be close friends
And now I am haunted by this crazy secret that's got me crying 'til the end
How much I wanted. how I needed, to let my fellings 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
Every time she looked into my eyes, I knew that all she wanted was a sign
Oh but that was the one thing I coudn'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
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
It hurt so bad to be denied without a reason, there is no reason
It was too much to keep inside all I could say was good-bye
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
