Wish You Knew

You might say that I have had a sheltered life
But it's in the wake of your fall that I can't deny
How much more life could hold for you -
I wish you knew, I wish you knew

It's not in the arms of any other lover
That you'll feel, 'so much understood'
And it's not by giving yourself away
That you'll more easily walk away


I wouldn't want to flaunt my stability
I've done nothing to earn or deserve it

But I see the tears running from your smiles
And I see the pain bounce from every word you say
I'm left with a bleeding heart for you tonight
Left with a bleeding heart


Listening to you unravel your life
Broke more than my own heart
I'm just wondering what happened
To the you I knew, I wish I knew


Who quelled your thirst for truth?
Who stole the light from your eyes?

Cause I see the tears running from your smiles
And I see the pain bounce from every word you say
I'm left with a bleeding heart for you tonight
Left with a bleeding heart


I know I can't change your mind
I hope you come round with time,
Whisper a prayer for you
I wish you knew; I wish you knew.
