There is not a single word
in the whole world
That could describe
the hurt
The dullest knife just
sawing back and forth
And ripping through
the softest skin
there ever was
How were you to know
Oh how were you to know
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
Love happens all the time
To people who aren't kind
And heroes who are blind
Expecting perfect
scripted movie scenes
But what's an awkward
silence mystery
How were you to know
Oh how were you to know
oh-oh
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
For all the air
that's in your lungs
For all the joy
that is to come
For all the things
that you're alive to feel
Just let the pain remind
you hearts can heal
Oh how were you to know
Oh how were you to know
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see
your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
