Love Was Never There

It seems like only yesterday That you and I were one. We laughed, we cried, we always tried To let our songs be sung. When love was good we made a vow, All our life to share. Now you're gone, and I must find A reason not to care. You played the game all by yourself, You never asked me to. I didn't think you'd go away Or ever be untrue. Now that you're gone, my life stands still -- Just memories remain. Somehow I must learn not to care And start to live again. Someday I'll know how not to love. Someday I'll know how not to care. But, until then, I'll just pretend Love was never there. Love was never there, no -- Love was never there. If I say it long enough, I find, Love was never there.
