I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

HOW CAN THINGS SEEM SO RIGHT
AND THEN JUST FALL OUT OF PLACE
I FELT LIKE YOU WERE THE ONE
NOW TEARS ARE RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
I GAVE YOU ALL I HAD TO GIVE
I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU
BUT YOU ABUSED WHAT WE HAD
I THOUGHT WHAT YOU SAID WAS TRUE
YOU HURT ME MORE THAN YOU REALIZE
FAR MORE THAN I WILL LET YOU SEE
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN MY LIFE FOR YOU
HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME?
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR TIME WITH HER
I'M SURE IT WAS TRUELY SPECIAL
I WONDER IF I EVEN CROSSED YOUR MIND
YOU MADE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL
YOU ALWAYS PROMISED IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
BECAUSE YOU HAD BEEN THROUGH THE SAME THING
I GUESS YOU JUST FORGOT THAT PART
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE STINGING PAIN
IT IS HARD NOT TO HATE YOU
HARD TO JUST LET IT GO
HARD TO THINK ABOUT THE "LOVE" WE HAD
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
IT HURTS EVERYIME I SEE YOU OUT
AND WHEN I HEAR THOSE STUPID SONGS
IT HURTS WHEN I FIND PICTURES OF US
YOU'LL NEVER RIGHT THESE WRONGS
I FELT SO COMFORTABLE WITH YOU
NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD MATTERED
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
YOU LEFT MY HEART BROKEN, SHATTERED.
