Juliette & The Licks - I Never Got To Tell You What I Wanted To Lyrics

One midnight call changed it all
I sit in silence and reach into the distance
A brother's sentence, forever villainized
No chance of redemption, no matter how hard you cry
Sisters, I will hold your hand through the night
You gotta be strong, reach for your life
She was your protector, everything remains
Not of this world, now the forest swallows her name

I never got to tell you what I wanted to, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what I wanted to, don't cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me

All for one and one for all
We will climb upright, break down the wall
Soft light of reason, quiet this fear
Words like "repent" are the last you'll ever hear

I never got to tell you what I wanted to, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what I wanted to, don't cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me

Spitting on a gem
Breaking the toy of an innocent
Glass hearts fall to the ground
These things don't matter
These things don't matter, oh!

I never got to tell you what I wanted to, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what I wanted to, and I cry about it now
I never got to tell you what you meant to me, don't cry about it now

Don't you cry [x5]

Sisters, sisters, reach for your life
Hold my hand, hold my hand and fight.

Ooh Ooh [x4]
Ooh Oohooh
Ooh, don't you cry
