Never Will - Terra Lightfoot, National Academy Orchestra of Canada

In the house where you live

With the lights in the basement so dim

I pull you aside

Just to tell you what I found out tonight

All our friends dance and clap

And the night seems to go by so fast

I can’t take it all in

But this feeling I’ve got is building

Oh, I can’t write you a good song

I never will, never will, never will

And this tired old melody is

Just for me, just for me, just for me

Just for me

I’ve never been, never been

Quite so evil as I have tonight

Oh, my intentions were good

But they didn’t come out, come out right

And though I know you’re all wrong

I can’t help myself from going along

With all that ink on your skin

Well I’ve never been so interested

Oh, I can’t write you a good song

I never will, never will, never will

And this tired old melody is

Just for me, just for me, just for me

Just for me

Oh I can’t write you a good song

I never will, never will, never will

And this tired old melody is

Just for me, just for me, just for me

If I can’t write you a good song well

Write your own, write your own, write your own

And I’ll listen close to see

How you sing all the words about me

'Cause this party will die down

All our friend they will dance their way out

And we’ll clean up your house

And I’ll try not to think much about it

And I’ll try
