You never said, you never said, you never said that it would be this hard
Love is meant to be forever, now or never seems to discard
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you hear me when I call your name?

And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?
When I call your name

Complicated situations are the makings of all that's wrong
And I've been standing in the river of deliverance way too long
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you hear me when I call your name?
So can you hear me when I call your name?

And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?

You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name
You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name

And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?

And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?

    Song Meaning:Illyria257 - "Now or never seems to discard" links to the previous statement.
    I believe that he is saying that Love last's forever so someone declaring that thier love is "now or never" completely "discards" the whole point and meaning of love and therefore that person doesn't actually love.
    This is just my opinion andc everyone interprets things differently but i really feel this right.

    General Comment:Story of my life!! Guy screws up, loses the girl. It was supposed to be a lasting relationship. He is willing to do anything to fix it, because the pain is too much. He "calls her name" hoping someway, somehow she will get the message.

    General Comment:I think this song talk about a relationship that is on the rocks and he thinks it's because of situations he creates. he keeps hurting her when he expresses himself: "there's gotta be a better way for me to say what's on my heart without leavin' scars" and "and when you fall apart, am i the reason for your endless sorrow?"

    General Comment:"the river of deliverence" refers to the previous line "complicated situations are the makings of all that's wrong"...he's saying that he's the one delivering the complicated situations...he's the one causing them is what he's saying.

    General Comment:"the river of deliverance" - is that perhaps a reference to the novel Deliverance by James Dickey? Which is about a violent journey down some fictional river... I don't know, just an observation... That always comes to my mind when i'm listening to this song though!

    Btw great song, beautiful lyrics, i love it :)
