Analysis of Never, I Say
The words we share, I keep them few
I hold my breath 'till my face turns blue
Because if I let one sigh stream out
Right then, I know, you'll figure it out
The glances I steal, I give them back
'Till the memory of your face fades to black
Then I steal a few more so I know it's true
You are the one I love, the one I love is you
Sweet dreams I dream, I'll save for night
Your blue sapphire eyes I'll save for light
And my love for you I'll share some other day
For now, you're never to know
Never, I say
