"Did You Ever"


Did you ever really love someone

And knew he didn't care?

Did you ever feel like crying, but knew

It wouldn't get you anywhere?

Did you ever see him standing there

When the lights were fairly low?


Did you ever whisper "I love you..."

And never let him know?

Did you ever look into his eyes

And say a little prayer?

Did you ever look into his heart

And wish that you were there?


If you fall in love,

You'll find it doesn't pay,

It only causes broken hearts,

It happens everyday.

With the choice of love or death,

I think I'd rather die.

Love is greater, but it hurts. So bad.

And the price you pay is high.

Don't ever fall in love my friend

You will hurt before things end.


You see, I ought to know

Because I fell in love with you.
