I Never Told Her Lyrics

Before the war
This was a church
Before the war
Came in through the roof

They left the rubble
For all the tourist
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

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
I said your name every day
Before we decided
To 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

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

I stared at the names
On your invitation
Stood up slowly

In your standing ovation
The sun shone through the glass
That used to be stained
I followed you out
But the ruins remained
