Who Knew?

Who knew
that you would
effect me so

Who knew
that distance just
makes things stronger

Who knew?
I didn't
Did you?
No, how could you?

Who knew
I would explode
from this
(too much)
(too much)

Too much emotion
(too much)

Who knew?
I didn't
Did you?
No, how could you?

Who knew
this thing
that we call ours
would be so(too) powerful

(too powerful)
(too
Powerful))

Who knew
I didn't
Did you?
No, how could you?

No
no, how
how could you
know

Who knew
that your love
would kill me

send me away

make me disappear

Who knew
that something this powerful
could
would
Did
kill
me

Who knew?
I didn't
Did you?
Maybe, maybe you did
But you didn't do anything

How could you?
how Could you
Do something?
you couldn't
I understand
I do

I would
do the same

Who knew
who knew that
two teenagers' love
could be so strong
that distance didn't just make them stronger
it made them (too) strong
(it) killed them

Their love
was
Too
Powerful
