You'll Never Know

"You'll never know..."

I want a life with you
I want to make you laugh
Never see you cry
I want to make sure that I will make it right or die tryin'

My eyes are blurry, deep and pale
I've been beaten down with a rusted nail
I love no one but you
A burning heat in my heart that I share not for anyone
Only you can see into my soul
And see what I can be, who I am in whole

Oh, my beloved, I can't hate you now
I can't break this silent vow
The one you don't know about
I want you to know that I love you
But you don't want me
And I guess I'll just never be able to see who you are inside
Like you have seen through me

Blazing hate and the last dance
Don't call me a sad old romance
It's just me and I can't change for one single girl
But I must say you send my mind into a hell of a whirl

I'm happy to say
You definitely can change my foolish way

I'm sorry I'm so cruel and full of pain
I pray this isn't just going to be all in vain
Thrown in my face is the ever-knowing lies
And all I can do is never enough to compare to how times I've tried

Can't I make it better between us to change the way
I can't take back the words I know I say
Can't I love you the same way I want to?
I guess we just don't have the same view
I guess I never knew the real you

What is love when you see the one you want isn't there
Or am I next to you instead?
I never was the one who bit that single hand that fed
But you were the different story
And you can change my foolish ways
Only you have the ability to break the puppy in my heart
And teach me to be the wild wolf I am

You burn my skin with touch
Your caress is too much
I can't take this anymore
And I know what I'm living for
I want to live for you
But if you only knew...

Who am I and who are you?
I bet I'll never know
Why I fell in love with that girl
You made me see and I'll never be able to pay back who I owe
I love you and I can't stop the pain
I'll never be able to stand in the rain
Without seeing your face...

I can't see myself without you
If you only knew
What I'd do for you
I'll never have you
Because we're too different
But I love you deeply for it all

Your eyes are like the veins in my body
And I know without you I'll slowly bleed to death
From my heart on out
I can't forget you
And you'll never leave my view

I still love you
And If you only knew
What I would do
To make you mine

You'd never see me as the same pup
You would see a wild wolf
But you'll never know
I want to love you but I know it'll be the death of me

You'll never see who I am
And I can still say
You have changed my ways

Life is death and death is life
This knife won't cut me as long as your here
I guess I'll always be struck in constant fear
Without you here
Without you here...

I may be near you...
But you don't know.

This is something old, but it still makes me smile. Hope it made you smile, too.
