I Never Told Her

[Verse 1]
Before the war
This was a church
Before the war
Came in through the roof
They left the rubble
For all the tourists
And they fenced it all off
Because of insurance

I sat at the back
With your invitation
And witnessed the vows
To your secular wedding
And thought how I never told her
How close we were, for
Hope not to lose her
But I lost you both

[Verse 2]
Before our parents were born
This church had a steeple
And it held all the secrets
Of all those dead people
A few years ago
Said your name every day
Before we'd be silent
Throw our friendship away

But still I never told her
How close we were
I never told her
I never told her
How close we were, for
Hope not to lose her
But I lost you both

[Bridge]
And as you stand alone
In your wedding dress
It wouldn't matter now
If i was to confess
Oh we were younger then
No one ever knew
What you meant to me
And what i meant to you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Stared at the name
On your invitation
I stood up slowly
In your standing ovation
The sun shone through the glass
It used to be stained
I followed you out
But the ruins remain
