You ain't ever gonna love me
Ain't ever gonna hold me tight
Ain't ever gonna hold my hand and
help me count the stars at night
You ain't ever gonna need me
Ain't ever gonna call my name
Ain't ever gonna feel alone and
know that I'm the one to blame
'cos I'm the one who got away
The one who couldn't stay
The one you never knew
Was so in love with you
It's easier this way
To have a part to play
I'm always there for you
The girl you never knew
You ain't ever gonna leave me
Ain't ever gonna walk away
Ain't ever gonna keep me waiting
Hopin' you'll return some day
You ain't ever gonna hurt me
Ain't ever gonna make me cry
Ain't ever gonna tear my heart out
and never wanna say goodbye
'cos I'm the one who got away
The one who couldn't stay
The one you never knew
Was so in love with you
It's easier this way
To have a part to play
I'm always there for you
The girl you never knew
You don't know me at all
Em Am7
What makes me think you should
take me away from it all
Em Am7
just 'cos I think you could?
Well I don't need you
To tell me what I need
When all I need
Is not to need you
Not to need you
Need you
Need you
