I never walk, I never run, I never do what must be done
I never do what must be done
You never write, you never call, I've got your picture on my wall
I've got your picture on my wall
I never see you coming 'round no more
I never hear you knocking on my door
There's never sun, it's always rain, when will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
I never smile, I never wave, I still have everything you gave
I still have everything you gave to me
I never see you coming 'round no more
I never hear you knocking on my door
I never sleep, always awake, there's nothing left in me to break
There's nothing left for you to break in me
I'm never right, I'm always wrong, I had to sing you one last song
I had to sing you one last song
I never see you coming 'round no more
I never hear you knocking on my door
