Never Had a Thing

I've been singing karaoke a lot lately.  I've done some open mic with my friend too.  It's nice to be back to my musical nature and I enjoy the praise.  Yes, I love singing and I love that my talent makes people smile.  So I thought I would try my hand at some song lyrics too.  Reading through it, I think I sing a little too much Adele. ;)  All her songs about unrequited love have gotten under my skin.


Never Had a Thing
I see the pictures and I weep
For the loss
For the pain
For what could have been
Or for what never was?
Hidden in the smiles
Are unspoken thoughts.
Echoes of the heart
Speaking truth.
You had it all.
You had it all.
You never had a thing.

Grains of sand through fingertips
All running
All sifting
All on pavements bare
Or was it never there?
Beautiful, lovely as could be
The only smile is yours
It warms my heart
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now the empty sings.

I see. I see what you lost
I feel it for you,
In the pictures, in your voice
In the wandering.
You never say it but I will.
You had it all.
You had it all.
You never had a thing.

I stand on the edge wondering
Will you hear
will you see
Will you know my love?
Oh you know, my Love.
Standing, on the side, waiting.
The eye smile is mine
Begging your heart
Be mine.
Be mine.
Be the song in my soul.

I see.  I see what you lost
I feel it for you,
In the pictures, in your voice
In the wandering.
You never say it but I will
You had it all.
You had it all.
You never had a thing.

I see.  Do you see it too?
I feel it for you
Will you feel it in your heart
In that wandering?
You never say it but I will
I had it all.
I had it all.
I never had a thing.

You had it all
I wanted it too.
We never had a thing.

You had it all
I wanted you
But lord, lord, we never had a thing.
You had it all
I wanted you
We never had a thing.
