No One Ever Does Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, No one ever does
No one ever does

[Verse 1]
Memories are like promises
That are seldom kept, hence why Jesus wept
Every day we are torn away
From the one we love, there's no God above
Only if you would spend your gift
To uphold the truth of just me and you
And we represent all the time we've spent
Getting to this day there's no other way
Aren't we who we claim to be
The descendants of whom we place above
We must place within and slowly begin

[Pre-Chorus]
To love

[Chorus]
Oh, no one ever does (No one ever does)
No one ever does (No one ever does)
Oh, no one ever does (No one ever does)
No one ever does (No one ever does)
[Verse 2]
Suddenly who I thought was me
Was not me at all and I feel so small
Sitting way beneath who I want to be
I don't want to be who I've grown to be
Only if I might somehow riff
On the way before, let it be some more
Lift me from this floor if I can't walk I'll crawl

[Pre-Chorus]
To love

[Chorus]
Oh, no one ever does (No one ever does)
No one ever does (No one ever does)
Oh, no one ever does (No one ever does)
No one ever does (No one ever does)
(No one ever does)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
