Cover art for Never There lyrics by Cake

This is the ultimate frustrated long distance relationship song. It's about a girlfriend who only uses words and never demonstrates her supposed love with actions. She never has time for him anymore, even to talk. Thus he wonders if he was only imagining that she cared. On second thought, maybe the missing loved one is not a girl and the singer is in a homosexual relationship, because it could easily be describing my boyfriend!
