I see you sitting there - so near but out of reach

We know the rules - to the games we play

We mustn't touch - we mustn't kiss 'n' tell

Silent messages - with our eyes we send

 

I never meant for this to happen

I never meant to fall in love

I knew it from the very first time

If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

 

We keep locked away - passions burning

Go our separate ways - so no-one knows

That what you feel for me - is what I feel for you

Against the surging tide - we have to swim

 

I never meant for this to happen

I never meant to fall in love

I knew it from the very first time

If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

 

Darkest secrets - we have to hide away

We must not show the world - too much love

And now we're sitting here - so near but out of reach

Confined by the rules - to this game we play

 

I never meant for this to happen

I never meant to fall in love

I knew it from the very first time

If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

I never meant for this to happen

I never meant to fall in love

I knew it from the very first time

If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough
