[Verse 1]
Lay my heart down, laid it down for you
Laid it down for you, oh
Put my arms out, put 'em out to you
Oh Lord I was reaching for ya, reaching for ya
Oh child, reaching for ya, reaching for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but you will never know this love
Will never know this pain
Never know the way I feel for you
You will never know this touch
Will never know this shame
Will never know the way I want you to
[Chorus]
You will never know my love
You will never feel the way I do
You will never know my love
You will never feel the way I do
[Verse 2]
Prayed my heart out but my hands get raised
And your soul got saved
Oh, still the devil, he don't know his name
Oh Lord, he don't know, he don't know his name
Oh child, reaching for ya, reaching for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but you will never know this love
Will never know this pain
Never know the way I feel for you
You will never know this touch
Will never know this shame
Will never know the way I want you to
[Chorus]
You will never know my love
You will never feel the way I do
You will never know my love
You will never feel the way I do
[Outro]
Feel the way I do
Feel the, feel the
You will never feel the, oh, the way I do
Feel the
You will never feel the
Feel the, oh, the way I do
Feel the
You will never feel the
Feel the
Feel the way I do

And when we left, I turned to her and I was like, “Well. That was ridiculous. How insane is that?” And...
The producers behind the music are Mark Jackson and Ian Brennan Scott. We had the chorus first. In that moment, I literally thought, “You will never know this love. You’ll never know this pain. You’ll never feel the way I do.” The chorus actually came quite naturally. It was one of those ones where...
I was playing in L.A. for like 5 years or something and I was singing in a songwriters round. It was my first ever songwriters round. First and last. It was a unique experience. A former A&R rep walked into the bar that I was singing at. His name was George Robertson, and he approached me after....
