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
