You build it up and tear it down,
there's no reason to follow you.
You left the song without a sound,
you left the story I made for you.
Softly angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night.

Never is a long time - goodbye.
No answers for the asking.
It's a long time - goodbye.
No mercy for the aching.
It's a long time - oh I see no light on the forsaken.
Never is a long time - goodbye.
Let's spend the night when this dream [bad word] to an end.

Sometimes you laugh,
sometimes you cry, and yes,
I've cried over you.
You've left me blind in paradise.
You've left me hungering for the touch of you.
Snow white [bad word] and hide in the blackness of the night.

Never is a long time...
