never existed
Unveiling the Ghost of a Love That Never Was
Lyrics
I'd like to think I knew you
I thought I understood you
But I never have
But I never really did
Don't know why I keep pretending that
Uncertain why I continue pretending
The time we spent together
The time we shared seemed artificial
Was anything more than an act
It wasn't more than a performance
Guess I've just gotta get over it
I need to move on from it
But I see the way you look into her eyes
Observing your gaze towards another person
I can tell that you love her
I sense your love for her
So why would I even try
So, why should I even attempt?
But I knew you first so I just don't get
Considering I knew you first, I'm perplexed
How it all ended up like this
How did everything turn out this way?
I guess I miss someone who never existed
I suppose I miss someone who was never real
I think back when we were younger
Reflecting on our youthful days
Play outside until it got dark
Playing outside until nightfall
And we swore that we'd never grow apart
We vowed to remain close
But now we watch different sunsets
Now witnessing different life paths
And you seem happier, you are
You appear happier in your chosen path
Guess you'll never know how that broke my heart
Regretful that you don't understand my pain
Cause I see the way you look into her eyes
Observing your gaze towards another person (repeated)
I can tell that you love her
I sense your love for her (repeated)
So why would I even try
So, why should I even attempt? (repeated)
But I knew you first so I just don't get
Considering I knew you first, I'm perplexed (repeated)
How it all ended up like this
How did everything turn out this way? (repeated)
I guess I miss someone who never existed
I suppose I miss someone who was never real (repeated)
And now we're twenty-one
We're now twenty-one years old
And I think the time we had is done
I believe our time together has concluded
That makes me sick to my stomach
This realization makes me feel nauseous
I'll never tell you what I wanted to
I won't express my true feelings to you
Cause the other girl's already won
Because the other girl has already triumphed
She has everything that I wanted
She possesses everything I desired
Cause I see the way you look into her eyes
Observing your gaze towards another person (repeated)
I can tell that you love her
I sense your love for her (repeated)
So why would I even try
So, why should I even attempt? (repeated)
But I knew you first so I just don't get
Considering I knew you first, I'm perplexed (repeated)
How it all ended up like this
How did everything turn out this way? (repeated)
I guess I miss someone
I suppose I miss someone who was never real (repeated)
I guess I miss someone
I suppose I miss someone (repeated)
Who never existed
Who was never real (repeated)
