You Never Did



You never tried to tame me
You never tried to main me
You never tried to claim me
You never tried to frame me
You never tried to blame me
You never tried to shame me
And you never did

You never tried to jar me
You never tried to bar me
You never tried to mar me
You never tried to scar me
You never tried to spar me
You never tried to char me
And you never did

You never tried to own me
You never tried to loan me
You never tried to zone me
You never tried to hone me
You never tried to clone me
You never tried to stone me
And you never did

You never tried to leave me
You never tried to reave me
You never tried to peeve me
You never tried to heave me
You never tried to grieve me
You never tried to sheave me
And you never did
