I never thought to say I love you,
I never thought you really cared.
I never thought to tell you what you mean to me,
I guess I was just too scared.

I never thought to hold you close,
I didn't think you'd care.
I never thought to say good-bye,
I never thought to say a prayer,
I didn't think it would help.

I never thought,
and I wish I had,
each day I remember,
I never thought the pain would be so bad,
I never thought to ask what was wrong.
For once, I wish I had.
