"Never" is the 10th. single release by internationally acclaimed independent recording artist,
actor, author, model & photographer AMARU. Released on the 39th. anniversary of his grandmother's home going,
"Never" conveys both audibly as well as visually a befitting tribute to a self-made woman who, like many,
has lost the battle with cancer. What started out as a mid-tempo pop song soon turned into
the heartfelt ballad that "Never" is today.
LYRICS:
I never knew
What life had in store for me
How could I possibly have known
You walked out of my life
And everything has changed
And now, what am I supposed to do
Chorus:
I never allowed myself to cry and
I never allowed myself to feel sad
I'll never forget the day you went away (ooh)
I never allowed my soul to heal yet
I never allowed my heart to break but
I'll never forget the emptiness I felt (ooh)
If I could turn back time
I'd know what to do
Wisdom and knowledge comes with time!
No more sleepless nights
Now I'm finally at peace
This is where I've always longed to be
Chorus repeat (2x)
Bridge:
Making amends has never been that easy
This much is true
Sometimes when I look back
I wonder: where are you?
(Ooh)
Chorus repeat (till end)
