Never Said Hello

I been tryin' real hard just to move it along

I been retracing my steps to places that I've gone

But as hard as I tried, I never sing the right song

Lookin' for an answer, 'cause I got it all wrong, tonight

And I know it's never really quite as hard as it seems

It's like I'm severing my head inside a guillotine

And I wonder why it makes no difference to me

How I got here is a mystery, tonight

I always hoped to play in a rock '' roll band

Knowin' that was never really part of your plan

And as hard as I tried to make you understand

All I wanna do is just hold your hand tonight

How can I convice you that it don't have to be alright?

There never will be perfect nights

You just wake up alone and face the mornin'

So don't come up to me saying, "Goodbye, I've got to go"

Because I never said hello

You know I've heard it all before

From a thousand people in my head

And all the bad dreams I carry to bed

It's just one thing that's better left unsaid

But it's okay, darlin', don't you worry about a thing

I never understood why you been so kind

Better to me than my head and heart combined

Love was never willing to pay me no mind

So I'm doin' my best just to keep it alive tonight

How can I convice you that it don't have to be alright?

There never will be perfect nights

You just wake up alone and face the mornin'

So don't come up to me saying, "Goodbye, I've got to go"

Because I never said hello

No, I never said hello

'Cause there's a thousand people in my head

And all the bad dreams I carry to bed

It's just one thing that's better left unsaid

But it's okay, darlin', don't you worry about a thing
