There is not a single word
in the whole world
That could describe the hurt
The dullest knife
just sawing back and forth
And ripping through
the softest skin there ever was
How were you to know
Oh how were you to know
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
Love happens all the time
To people who aren't kind
And heroes who are blind
Expecting perfect
scripted movie scenes
Who wants an awkward
silent mystery
How were you to know
Well how were you to know oh oh
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
For all the air that's in your lungs
For all the joy that is to come
For all the things
that you're alive to feel
Just let the pain remind
you hearts can heal
Oh how were you to know
How were you to know
Oh how were you to know
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes
get darker as they close
But I've been there before
