There are some thing I wish
That I never knew
Like the secrets of your past
The smiles shared with other people
All the laughs you had
And the lies you told them
I wish I never knew
What it meant to miss somebody
Or what your hands feel like
Intertwined in mine
Your lips still linger here
I wish I never knew your taste
You were always so honest
But what I needed was a lie
Because the truth cuts like a blade
Gently slicing at my skin
And I didn’t want to know
The nicknames you shared
And reused with me
The songs that were yours
That we danced to together
I wish I never knew love
Because then, at least,
I couldn’t miss it
I couldn’t feel lonely
If that’s what I’ve always been
The thing I wish I never knew
Is everything about you
