I’ll Never Be The Same
I'll never be the same
Stars have lost their meaning for me
I'll never be the same
Nothing's what it once used to be

And when the songbirds that sing tell me it's spring
I can't believe their song
Once, love was king
But kings can be wrong

I'll never be the same
There is such an ache in my heart
Never be the same
Since we're apart

Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
I know down deep inside
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same again

I make believe I will forget come day
Telling myself maybe it's best this way
While I pretend, I'm satisfied
To have it so in my heart
I still know...
I'll never be the same
Stars have lost their meaning to me
I'll never be the same
Nothing's what it once used to be

And when the songbirds that sing tell me it's spring
Oh, I can't believe in their song
For, once, love was king
Oh, but king's can be wrong, wrong, wrong

I'll never be the same
There is such an ache in my heart
Never be the same
Since we're apart

Though there's a lot that a smile may hide
I know down deep inside
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same again
