Never to Know
Unveiling Hidden Scars: The Untold Story in "Never to Know" by Lene Marlin
Lyrics
Did you know,
Being aware
Hidden by his clothes there are some scars
Concealed beneath his clothing are some wounds
Some are recent,
Some injuries are recent
Some have been there for years
While others have endured for years
Did you know
Are you aware
It doesn't even hurt
The physical pain is absent
It never really hurts, but there are tears
Although it doesn't truly hurt, there are tears
Do you want the real story,
Do you desire the authentic narrative
Or do you prefer the lie
Or do you lean towards the falsehood
Do you want to see him smile,
Do you wish to witness his happiness
Or maybe see him cry
Or perhaps observe him in sorrow
Do you want to follow,
Do you want to accompany
Or let him go alone
Or let him journey alone
For then, never to know... never to know
Then, to remain oblivious... never to know
Have you seen the way he acts sometimes
Have you observed his behavior at times
And when you ask,
And when you inquire
He'll say that he's okay.
He'll claim to be fine
Have you seen how well he pretends
Have you noticed how convincingly he feigns
Laughs out loud,
Laughs audibly
Before he looks away
Before turning away
Do you want the real story,
Do you desire the authentic narrative
Or do you prefer the lie
Or do you lean towards the falsehood
Do you want to see him smile,
Do you wish to witness his happiness
Or maybe see him cry
Or perhaps observe him in sorrow
Do you want to follow,
Do you want to accompany
Or let him go alone
Or let him journey alone
For then, never to know... never to know
Then, to remain oblivious... never to know
