The Wrong Side Of Never

 

I’m on the wrong side of never,

And I can’t complain.

I was looking for pleasure,

And only found pain.

I tried to forget it,

To enjoy what I had,

But I'm just no good baby,

I’m bad,

Bad.

Bad.

 

It was a Saturday night,

And nothing was right.

We were together, alone.

I wanted more than you were willing to give,

I wanted to taste life, to live

Live.

Live.

 

We went to the city, just to look around,

Spent every dime we had on a night on the town.

I was alone in my heart, if not in my mind,

We were both looking for something we just could not find.

 

Now I’m on the wrong side of never,

But I won’t complain,

You brought me pleasure,

I brought you pain.

I’m on the wrong side of never,

And never again,

Will I let you win.

I’m on the wrong side of never,

Never to be apart.

You ripped up my love, and stomped on my heart.

 

It was a Sunday morning,

And we were feeling no shame,

Until your parents caught us, and it was me that took the blame.

But I didn’t care, because we did it there.

I wanted more than you were willing to give,

I wanted to enjoy life, to live,

Live.

Live.

 

I’m on the wrong side of never,

And I cry every night,

Because we didn’t try harder,

You just weren’t worth the fight.

I wanted more from you, than you were willing to give,

I wanted to enjoy life, to live.

Live

Live.

 

Now it’s over, and we’ve gone our separate ways,

You to college, me to my own personal haze.

You found what you wanted, in the ivy covered halls,

I found what I wanted when I licked your balls.

It was fun while it lasted, I enjoyed you a lot.

What we had between us was extremely hot.

But we both know it can never again be,

You love you, and I love me.

 

I’m on the wrong side of never,

Wanting you so much more.

I need to know you’ll open the door.

I want to be with you, again like before,

Both of us on the wrong side of never,

Instead of never, no more.

 

I’m on the wrong side of never…
