You Never Knew

I tried to hide the pain inside But every night, your shadow stayed behind You were the light I couldn’t hold on to But my love was real You never felt the fire I gave You never knew, you never knew My voice kept calling out your name But you slipped away You never felt the fire I gave You never knew, you never knew My voice kept calling out your name But you slipped away I built the walls to keep me safe But every stone just whispered out your name Maybe someday you’ll understand The truth was written in my hands But by the time you see it clear I’ll be gone, I won’t be here The city lights can’t chase the dark I still remember where you left your mark Every song just echoes back your name And I can’t escape, it feels the same You were the light I couldn’t hold on to But my love was real You never felt the fire I gave You never knew, you never knew My voice kept calling out your name But you slipped away You never felt the fire I gave You never knew, you never knew My voice kept calling out your name But you slipped away Fading into silence, I let you go Echoes of your shadow in the undertow Whispers in the night, they still call you But my heart is gone, my heart is through
