I Thought You Knew
If I could stop
I would
If I knew how to turn it off
I wouldn't still be here
Because being alone
Never scared me
Not liket this
And a little rain
Never bothered me
Not before you
But here
In this house
Without you
Is just a reminder
Another way
That I relive the day
You walked away
I wish
I should've known better
I tried
But it was nowhere near enough
I always pushed
While you pulled
And now
In this bedroom
On this cold bed
I realize
That the last thing I remember
Was the pain in your eyes
All I gave you
Was walls and lies
And if I could undo
Anything
It would be losing you
I thought
I really believed
I loved you right
I gave all I had
When in reality
I gave you the worst of me
All those fights
Screaming
In the dead of night
When all you ever wanted
The only thing you needed
Was for me
To wrap my arms around you
And tell you to stay
But instead
I let you walk away
Because I didn't know
I know
Now I see
What I refused to see before
But it's too late now
You're gone
Far away
And now I see
All the broken pieces
I left you stranded in
All those scars
I inflicted
On your heart
If I had known
If I really knew
How much you needed me
And all I gave to you
Maybe
I could've told you
That I loved you
When I thought
You always knew
