lyrics

You'll Never Know

I've gone down into the dungeons of my soul
To create the modern miracle, don't ask me how I don't know
Tryin' to stay transparent in this interval
Tryin' to stay transparent in this interval

When everything is lust stripped bare
Don't ask me if I care
I do, but how will you ever know?

"Cause I love you, but how will you ever know?
And it always of course takes two to make it so
'Cause I do love you but how will you ever know?
You'll never know

Thrown out on to the sidewalk of infinity
Tryin' to re-create the thoughtfulness I thought I knew
I want to tell you and I would, if I could only hear
The words of love you whisper, before you say "screw you", my dear

'Cause I love you, but how will you ever know?
And it always of course takes two to make it so
'Cause I love you, but how will you ever know?
You'll never know

Please forgive the gaps in my intelligence
Please understand the extent of my innocence
But somewhere in the distance I can tell
That you will come to know, I only wish you well
I wish you well
'Cause I love you!

I've gone up into the upper reaches of hell
Tryin' to get some rest for a short spell
Feelin' called, called in for brief repair
Before I can ever say, let me take you there,
let me take you there

'Cause I love you, but how will you ever know?
And it always of course takes two to make it so
'Cause I love you but how will you ever know?
You'll never know
