"I Wish I Knew"

(Verse 1)
My heart bleeds and my soul cries out
I never knew that emotion could hurt so much
I let the tears fall freely on down my cheeks
I don't care about the looks I get
The one for me
My sweetest love
Is gone away from me

The pain in my chest threatens to end my life
I wish the threats would end
And the end would come
Taking me away from this hell
Leaving behind the body and soul that held so much love

I only want for my heart to stop aching so
But how do I stop the aching?
When I know deep down and all around
That I can't stop loving you?

(Chorus)
Gone away from me before I even knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
That I had loved you
Maybe then the pain I feel right now would not be
In my heart at this time
But someplace else far and away

I feel nothing but the pain of lost love
What's worse its love that I never knew
So now I sing to you that
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
That I had loved you
Maybe then the pain I feel right now would not be
In my heart at this time
But someplace else far and away

(Verse 2)
I see now what he has to offer
His talent and his love for you are surely great
I hold out my hands to you to show you what I can offer
The love I have and these two hands
With these
I can
Achieve
So much more
Than anyone
Thought capable
Of me
I want to show you that I can be there for you
Why can't I have that chance?
Why did I not tell you when I had the chance?
That my love for you made my heart ache
It made my soul break down
My love never was shown to you
So now I live in regret

(Chorus)
Gone away from me before I even knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
That I had loved you
Maybe then the pain I feel right now would not be
In my heart at this time
But someplace else far and away

I feel nothing but the pain of lost love
What's worse its love that I never knew
So now I sing to you that
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
That I had loved you
Maybe then the pain I feel right now would not be
In my heart at this time
But someplace else far and away

(Verse 3)
Am I weak for saying that I lost you to him?
But how did I lose you when I never had you?
I lost the war while I was planning out my strategies
I let myself become too involved
While he was stealing you away
I know you knew
I remember the day
The words are still so clear to me
Even after these years have passed
You felt for me, too
But it was already too late
Or maybe not!
Maybe I was too afraid
I wanted to be yours oh so badly
I wanted to caress your cheek
Run my hands through your silky hair
Whispering in your ear
I love you so'

But it can never be!
It can never be that way for
