She looked me in the eye and said it's over I can't take this heartache anymore She said don't tell me lies and try to please me I've heard it all so many times before And I took her by the arm and said don't leave me There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do Just give me time I'll be the man you've needed She said I wish that I could take that for the truth And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes She said all I've ever wanted was to love you And somewhere deep inside me I still do But now I think it's time I stopped believin' 'Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes Sometimes someday just never comes
