I see you sitting there - so near but out of reach
We know the rules - to the games we play
We mustn't touch - we mustn't kiss 'n' tell
Silent messages - with our eyes we send

I never meant for this to happen
I never meant to fall in love
I knew it from the very first time
If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

We keep locked away - passions burning
Go our separate ways - so no-one knows
That what you feel for me - is what I feel for you
Against the surging tide - we have to swim

I never meant for this to happen
I never meant to fall in love
I knew it from the very first time
If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

Darkest secrets - we have to hide away
We must not show the world - too much love
And now we're sitting here - so near but out of reach
Confined by the rules - to this game we play

I never meant for this to happen
I never meant to fall in love
I knew it from the very first time
If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough

I never meant for this to happen
I never meant to fall in love
I knew it from the very first time
If I gave my heart it wouldn't be enough
