I Didn't Know

I hadn't seen you since you ran away

You'd been in the shadows

But I saw you today

I washed you off me like water to soap

But I didn't know that I still had hope

Yes I didn't know till I saw you hand

Holding the jacket of another man

That's when the heartache struck me

Like a knife in the dark

Through the secret place in my heart

Where my future life would start

But I didn't know

No I didn't know

That it would hurt so much

To finally see you go

Into the night I crept back again

An animal wounded hiding in pain

I didn't know, I didn't believe

That I'd feel so lonely

Watching you leave

That's when the heartache struck me

Like a knife in the dark

Through the secret place in my heart

Where my future life would start

But I didn't know

No I didn't know

That it would hurt so much

To finally see you go
