I never told you
I knew it would hurt
I know you would be afraid

I never told you how
I never told you why
I never told you of the time

It would have been fun
It would have been real
It would have been good

I had temptation
I had an offer
I had an interest

But

I had you
I had a vow
I had a promise

It was love

I don't regret tuning it down
I don't regret staying strong
I don't regret fighting a little longer

I was strong
I was proud
I was honorable

I am those things now
And never lost them
Even tho you are gone

I never told you
