Name: I Never Really Had Her
Duration: P00H02M20S
Description: I remember Jeff, a drummer friend who I jammed with a lot in high school, said that I finally wrote a "real" song with this one as I played it for him. I think the melody was ambitious for me at the time, and I had just discovered the F#m chord. Another one of many songs written high school unrequited love.

lyrics

The problem is that I still love her
And I love her in every way
And I never got around to saying
What I wanted to say
Now it's too late even though I care
Enough to bridge the end of time
And I'll never be satisfied
Until I make her mine

Oh my soul, I lost her
But I never really had her
And knowing that she doesn't care
That's what really hurts
And I love her, I need her
Can't she see?
The only one for her is me

I won't let her go like she said
Not if I can stop her
Because I still need her
She's all I deserve
It's a mistake, I know it is
It can't be any other way
She really doesn't love him
It's just something to say
