I never knew you
And when I found out
You were already gone
I never lived without
Until I heard your voice
Then I knew of your heart
And how you were sad
As am I because we're apart

There is only one life
And yours is still shining
Your shadow my pleasure
Inside my lonely evening
I will always remember
Even as you no longer can
I am ashamed of my sorrow
Unworthy of what I think I am

I wish I knew you
You lost your lover
Then another left you
How did you recover
Still you lived your life
Your tears gave you away
The only way to free yourself
Is to make a new one today
