Nobody knew me better
We went where nobody goes
Secrets that should have been guarded
Whenever we came to blows
You said words, words I won't ever forget
I did things, things I will always regret
The brighter the light that a love shines
The darker the nights when it's gone
The ones you keep close can hurt you the most
Nobody loved me better
You got the best in me out
We left our hearts wide open
The worst in me could not back down
I said words, words you won't ever forget
You did things, things you will always regret
The deeper the trust that gets broken
The harder it is to repair
The ones you keep close can hurt you the most
We said words, words we won't ever forget
We did things, things we will always regrets
The higher you let your love fly
Oh the harder you hit when it falls
The ones you keep close, they can hurt you the most
The ones you keep close can hurt you the most
