You Never Know

You can be there beside
Someone with a broken heart
But you'll never know the darkness
Hiding behind their eyes
You can try to soothe their soul
But you'll never understand
The nights they spend in silence
Even when they smile
There's still a shadow inside
You can hear them
But you'll never truly know

But you'll never understand
What it's like
When everything falls apart
And only silence remains
You won't know until one day
The whole world turns
Upside down for you
No, you won't really know
Even if you think you do
How something that was always
There can disappear
And you're left with a broken heart
And an empty world

You can walk with them through
The days
But you'll never feel the moments
When their heart is breaking
You'll never know how it feels
When their soul is on the edge
Even when they tell you, "I'm fine"
You'll never understand
How those words hide the storm inside
You can hear them
But you'll never truly know

But you'll never understand
What it's like
When everything falls apart
And only silence remains
You won't know until one day
The whole world turns upside
Down for you
No, you won't really know
Even if you think you do
How something that was always
There can disappear
And you're left with a broken
Heart and an empty world

The moment you realize
Nothing lasts forever
And you have to walk
With a broken heart
Because that's the only way
But somewhere deep inside
You know you have to keep moving
That nothing is permanent
Not even the pain

But you'll never understand
What it's like
When everything falls apart
And only silence remains
You won't know until one day
The whole world turns
Upside down for you
No, you won't really know
Even if you think you do
How something that was always
There can disappear
And you're left with a broken heart
And an empty world

You won't know, you won't know
Even if you think you do
You'll never understand
Until you walk this path yourself
