I never knew his name
I never knew his nam
As he called to me
Pleading with his eyes
Suddenly so wise
Trying not to cry
Now he's gone and I
Never knew his name
I've seen his kind before
Rising to his fall
God, he was so young
Like a song half sung
Interrupted by
Someone just as shy,
Who never knew his name
The true cost of honor is suddenly too clear
It measures too far and deep
He always looks the same
Dressed in blue or gray
All the life he'll miss
Girls he'll never kiss
Things he'll never try
Unaware that I
Never knew his name
I never knew his name
Guess it's just as well
So I do my part
Hiding from my heart
Whispering goodbye
Thanking God that I
Never knew his name
Nunca supe su nombre
Nunca supe su nombre
Mientras me llamaba
Implorando con sus ojos
De repente tan sabio
Tratando de no llorar
Ahora se ha ido y yo
Nunca supe su nombre
He visto su tipo antes
Elevándose hacia su caída
Dios, era tan joven
Como una canción a medias
Interrumpida por
Alguien igual de tímido,
Que nunca supo su nombre
El verdadero costo del honor es repentinamente demasiado claro
Mide demasiado lejos y profundo
Siempre se ve igual
Vestido de azul o gris
Toda la vida que se perderá
Chicas que nunca besará
Cosas que nunca intentará
Sin saber que yo
Nunca supe su nombre
Nunca supe su nombre
Supongo que es mejor así
Así que hago mi parte
Escondiéndome de mi corazón
Susurrando adiós
Agradeciendo a Dios que yo
Nunca supe su nombre
