I'll Never Know

I remember a time when I was alone
In this dark place, I was unknown
The ones that I loved were the ones that hurt me
They looked down to find a smile they wouldn't see

The sad thing was I never knew I was hurt
Not even with the blood stains on my shirt
My life was sustained in such a way
I knew my plans each and every day

Until, one day, a new face arrived
The beauty was like nothing I could ever describe
New thoughts, new hopes, new memories
Who knew her face would be all that I'd see

[Chorus]
Her heart, so strong
Her past, so wrong
Her smile, so bright
I'll never know how she got through all those nights

Rescued; that's the new word for me
whoever knew that I'd be so happily
in love, yeah that's what I was
My whole past life was put on pause

In all my life, it never occurred to me
That I could fall in love so quickly
I never thought that things would be so great
I didn't know what was to await

[Chorus]
Her heart, so strong
Her past, so wrong
Her smile, so bright
I'll never know how she got through all those nights

Gone, yeah, that's what she was
I never knew what was the cause
In my mind I thought it was me
She said a lot, but I'll never see

We had so many firsts together
I hated how this was the end of our chapter
I read and read and read all night
Nothing at all came to light

I'll never understand why she left
My heart, now gone, what a theft

Her heart, so strong
Her past, so wrong
Her smile, so bright
I'll never know how I got through all those nights

You can cry and try and beg for them back
But without them there's just something you'll always lack
