Lyrics
[90s R&B/Soul Pop Beat]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I was there in the shadows, waiting for a sign
Holding on to hope, pretending you were mine
Every word you said, it felt so real
But deep inside, I knew the deal
Promises you made, they never came true
In this empty space, I waited for you
Tears I cried, you never saw
In this heart of mine, you left a scar
[Pre-Chorus]
In the dark of night, I faced my fears
Wondering if you’d ever care
Your touch was cold, your eyes were distant
In this lonely dance, I was persistent
I gave my all, but you turned away
In the end, there’s nothing left to say
Every time I reached for you
You slipped away, like the morning dew
[Chorus]
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
[Verse 2]
Walking down this road, I’m on my own
Picking up the pieces of what you’ve thrown
Every memory, it fades away
In the light of truth, I find my way
No more waiting for your hollow lies
In the dawn of hope, I rise
The chains you placed, I break them free
In this newfound strength, I see
[Pre-Chorus]
In the dark of night, I faced my fears
Wondering if you’d ever care
Your touch was cold, your eyes were distant
In this lonely dance, I was persistent
I gave my all, but you turned away
In the end, there’s nothing left to say
Every time I reached for you
You slipped away, like the morning dew
[Chorus]
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
[Bridge]
Now I’m moving on, finding my own way
In the light of truth, no longer will I stay
Bound by your deception, free from your lies
In the strength I’ve found, I realize
Love is more than just a game you play
In the depth of night, I’ve found my day
No more tears, no more pain
In this heart, I’ve found my name
[Chorus]
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seams
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seems
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seems
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seems
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
You never gave me love, just empty dreams
Left me standing here, torn at the seems
You never gave me love, just words so cold
In this heart of mine, I won’t be consoled
[Outro]
You never gave me love
You never gave me love
You never gave me love
You never gave me love
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah
