This Song was added in the film, “Batman: Mask of the Phantasm”.
The interpretation is about a woman who kept her feelings hidden from the man she fell in love with and never told him how she feels about him.
[Verse 1]
There was never any question
Any lovers' indiscretion
In my eyes
And my quiet desperation
Wasn't any indication
That my life
Suddenly could change
And never be the same
Now I feel so ashamed
[Chorus]
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
(I never even said a word)
How I feel about you
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
Thought you knew
[Verse 2]
There was never any mention
Though it wasn't my intention
Not to say
(Not to say)
And my silent desperation
Couldn't change my situation
Anyway...
And doesn't it seem strange
How everything can change
And still feel the same?
[Chorus]
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
(I never even said a word)
How I feel about you
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
Thought you knew
[Bridge]
I had to keep my feelings locked away
I couldn't whisper
No, I couldn't say!
Now I know that this cost
My chances are lost
Like tears
Tears in the rain
Just washed away!
[Chorus]
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
(I never even said a word)
How I felt about you
(I never even told you)
I thought you knew
Thought you knew
[Outro]
Never said, Never said
Never said a single word
Never said, Never said
(never even said a word)
How I feel?
Never said, Never said
Never said a single word, no
Never said, Never said
Never said a single word to you, baby!
Never said, Never said
(Never even told you)
Never said, Never said
(How I felt about you)
