I didn't realize I meant so much to you. How could I give you my whole heart When you tell me about the girl you love that you one day plan to marry? Why would I give you everything, heart and soul, only to be left behind? To fall so completely in love with you, knowing there's someone you love more? How could I not try to make it with someone else, someone who I thought I stood a chance with? I thought we could walk away, That we'd still be okay. How could I be so wrong? Give it time, they've said. But how can I stand by and watch you hurting? What could I do, when I can't even look you in the face or return the most simple hello? My actions were cruel, but done with the most honest of intentions. Your words were cruel, but I have to believe they were born of hurt, that you don't truly mean them. I thought we would be okay. How could I know? How could I know.

How Could I Know
I didn't realize I meant so much to you. How could I give you my whole heart When you tell me about the girl you love that you one day plan to marry? Why would I give you everything, heart and soul, only to be left behind? To fall so completely in love with you, knowing there's someone you love more? How could I not try to make it with someone else, someone who I thought I stood a chance with? I thought we could walk away, That we'd still be okay. How could I be so wrong? Give it time, they've said. But how can I stand by and watch you hurting? What could I do, when I can't even look you in the face or return the most simple hello? My actions were cruel, but done with the most honest of intentions. Your words were cruel, but I have to believe they were born of hurt, that you don't truly mean them. I thought we would be okay. How could I know? How could I know.
