I Guess You'Ll Never Know
It always starts out so lovely,
Talking all the time -
“Can’t wait to see you,
I’m so glad you’re mine.”
But time fades the colors,
And makes the petals fall.
What once was so exciting -
Now seems a little dull.
And I know you’ve had your drama
From people in the past.
They didn’t see what they had in you -
Well, I could’ve fixed that.
I wouldn’t hurt you like she did,
I wouldn’t push you around.
I wouldn’t take you for granted,
I guess you’ll never know now.
I just want you to know this:
My intentions were pure.
And if I’d let myself love you -
It would’ve been for who you were.
I’m learning every fairy tale
Won’t have a happy end.
‘Cause now I’m sitting here crying,
Missing my friend.
And now we’re looking at a goodbye
Because you just cant seem to see -
Just what you could’ve had
If you’d just picked me.
I wouldn’t hurt you like she did,
I wouldn’t push you around.
I wouldn’t take you for granted,
I guess you’ll never know now.
