You Never Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was a weight on my shoulders
A strain on my back
But I love to have you, right there by my side
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
It used to be, when we are alone
We shared such beautiful moments
(But lately it's been such a mess)
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I came home to see you, you weren't around
Excuses were one right after the other
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
You woke up from another dream
Another fight you didn't mean
Still, time after time
I came running to get you
Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
(You couldn't take it)
Another heart, another day
So much time was thrown away
(You couldn't take it)
You know I love to be in love
(You couldn't take it)
So tired of trying to show you
I worked so hard
Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Oh don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take? (Oh baby)
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, to the words
That you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
