about the events of years ago
The past inside still haunts me,
growing up in your shadow
When you'd come home from work,
I'd hear your footsteps and I'd freeze
Never knowing if you were angry
As a child I suffered violence,
I learned to smile and hide it
Too young, I became a man
Though you know you tore me apart
You never told me that you loved me
Through all the years of growing up
You had hurt me one too many times
So I left home and I hit the road
And I learned to sing the blues
The audience gave me something
Something that I never got from you
Though you know it tore me apart
You never told me you loved me
Through all the years of growing up
It's funny how the years go by
Funny how the years go by
Dancing on the edge of time
my little boy turned five
And every day I tell him that I love him
And I'm glad that he's alive
And I'll be careful with my anger
I won't hurt, I won't abuse
Cause I never want to make
not the same mistakes as you
You never told me you loved me
Though you know you tore me apart
You never told me you loved me
Through all the years I've grown up
Never told me you loved me
You never told me you loved me
You never told me you loved
Through all the years I've grown up
You never thought of holding on to me
You never told me you loved me
You never told you loved me told me
