The Things I Wish You Knew


If you plan to run away

Try to tell me that you'll stay

Break the dawn like a Ray

Say the things you'd never say

 

With your bow you take your aim

Left me with myself to blame.

Fell hard for you when summer came

After that, things weren't the same.

 

I'm dealing with the agony

Of something that you just don't see.

If you tell me we can never be

My love for you will be the death of me.
