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
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
