It's not that
you might leave me lonely
I know I could cope
if your heart became a ghost
I know what to do
when I'm on my own
It's the not knowing
that hurts the most
It's not that if you told me
you met someone better
Or if you had to break
your promise
break your oath
If you prefer to
feel some others touch
It's the not knowing
that hurts the most
In your silence
I sense a thousand words
Your eyes are sad
but you still smile
You're right beside me
but are you even here
It's the not knowing
that hurts the most
It's the not knowing
that hurts the most
I'm sure you meant
all that you said
at the time
I believe you can't be
made of stone
We both know it's ok
to change your mind
It's just the not knowing
that hurts the most
And in your silence
I sense a thousand words
You're eyes are sad
but you still smile
You're right beside me
but are you even here
It's just the not knowing
that hurts the most
I can tell
your head is somewhere else
I can read the signs
but I need help
I can take your truth
Tell me
Tell me what I know
Don't be a coward boy
Let me free just let me go
We haven't said it
but I know it
So hold me one last time
before you go
You gave me
so much to remember baby
It was just the not knowing
that hurt the most
