Never & Always On My Mind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You left it

I sent it

I want it back

You left it

I sent it

I want it back

If I had you here

I'd clip your wings

Snap you up

And leave you sprawling

On my pin

This plan of mine

Is oh, so very lame

Can't you see

The grass is greener

Where it rains?

And you left

I died

I went

And you cried

You came

I think

But I never really know

Now I've served my time

I've watched you climb

The wrong incline

But you never really know

Accept it

Don't let it

Fuck you up

Accept it

Don't let it

Fuck you up

This applies equally

To you and I

The only thing

We've shared

Is the same sky

These empty metaphors

They're all in vain

Can't you see

The grass is greener

Where it rains?

And you left

I died

I went

You cried

You came

I think

But I never really know

Now I've served my time

I've watched you climb

The wrong

You left it

I sent it

I want it back

You never really know

Accept it

Don't let it

Fuck you up

You never really know

You left

I died

I went

You cried

You came

I think

You never really know

I've served my time

I've watched you climb

The wrong incline

You never really know

You never really know

Maybe I didn't hold you

Quite as good as I should have

And I guess I never told you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied

You never really know

You never really know
