[Verse 1]
I knew in the back of my mind
It was over for me soon after I met you
You were sweet and kind to me
It was something that I never knew
How could you treat me like a human being?
Why'd you have the decency
To make me believe again
Some people aren't as bad as I think?
I knew in the heart of my hearts
That you would break mine from the start
You were scared, I could tell on your face
But I could melt it all away
You used to say
And now you're someone I can't replace
[Chorus]
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, baby, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, honey, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, baby, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling only tends to change
[Verse 2]
I knew that I pushed you away because you still weren't quite ready
But neither was I
I think it was smart of you to end the things the way you did
Though I still cry myself to sleep at night
I'm missing comfortability
I grab my pillow like it's you
We all know I'm embarrassing
I fall at the thought of it all coming back in the end to haunt me
If I show some self-control by then
Will you finally want me?
[Chorus]
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, baby, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, honey, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling never goes away
Oh, baby, no
The feeling never goes away
The feeling only tends to change
[Post-Chorus]
The feeling never goes away
The feeling only tends to change
The feeling never goes away
[Outro]
I hate to choose between you and oxygen
I already know which one would win
It takes all of my final breaths
To tell you how I feel
