Julestone - She Never Knew Him Lyrics

They were young lovers, the original childhood sweethearts
Only eyes for one another, could not bear to be apart
Engaged to be married the wedding date was set
Their lives mapped out before them, they seemed a certain bet

Bought their first house a two-up terrace on the street
They were so proud then just finding their feet
Made the place so cosy working hard on their careers
Good times with their friends, through the laughter and the tears

She never knew him
He was an illusion
She never knew him
And their love was just a delusion
Thought he was strong
Turned out he was so weak
She never knew him
Now the future looks bleak

Just as they sold their house to buy a bigger place
A bomb dropped on their perfect life and sunk it without trace
Messages on his mobile told of more than one affair
A double life revealed to her a love beyond repair

She never knew him
He was an illusion
She never knew him
And their love was just a delusion
Thought he was strong
Turned out he was so weak
She never knew him
Now the future looks bleak

Had to hold herself together, she could not fall apart
Be strong for the children and hide a broken heart
As his life went off the track, lost his job and his pride
The drink was not the answer, there was no place to hide

But she never knew him
He was an illusion
She never knew him
And their love was just a delusion
Thought he was strong
Turned out he was so weak
She never knew him
Now the future looks bleak, how could he be so weak
And just throw it all away
