how was i to know

when you never spoke a word

always the quiet one

you kept it bottled in

now the tears are falling

and i don't know what to do

reliving memories that i thought had once faded

your face it's haunting me

like an image you can't turn from

how can you blame me

when YOU broke my heart

and left me to stitch it whole again

i gave you everything

and everything you took

you speak of being broken

well, "love", you're not the only one

you made a fool of me

but i didn't even care

all i wanted

your arms around me

your lips against mine

our hands intertwined

some things are meant to be

but some times obstacles get in the way

it's like it's happening all over again

but you should have known

everything worth having

is worth fighting for

are you fighting now

because you couldn't fight then

all the lies you told

i still don't know what to do

how can one person

make another feel so paralyzed

i'm sorry i wasn't always there

but you were always in my heart

but how was i to know

when you never spoke a word
