Never Knew How Much It Hurt
Folder:
Raindrops This old house feels like a ghost,
That died so many years ago,
And it seems more like a memory,
Than the stone and wood it shows.
As I'm packing up this old life,
And just thinking about the new,
I find a picture I'd forgotten,
Of a girl I once thought I knew.
In shattered glass and tear stains,
It just came rushing back to me,
Of the heart she took to Georgia,
As I just lay here on my knees.
She never knew how much it hurt,
To let her walk out of my life,
Never knew how much I'd miss her,
Until I felt a part of me die.
All I had left were photographs,
And this pain inside my heart,
Of the girl who loved the rain,
And who tore my world apart.
I don't think I have recovered,
From the state she left me in,
And these pictures just don't help,
As they stir memories within.
I was born to ride the highway,
I never had a place called home,
Never knew what being loved was,
All I really had was dead and gone.
Then came that southern summer night,
When those green eyes fell onto me,
She made me feel like I was someone,
And gave me the faith to believe.
She never knew how much it hurt,
To let her walk out of my life,
Never knew how much I'd miss her,
Until I felt a part of me die.
All I had left were photographs,
And this pain inside my heart,
Of the girl who loved the rain,
And who tore my world apart.
So now I'm saying my goodbyes,
To this life that's passed away,
I can hear that storm approaching,
And feel the raindrops on my face.
They're reminding me to carry on,
As they wash away my heart's pain,
Drowning out those memories,
That always seem to drive me insane.
Somehow I'd wish she see my words,
And see just how much it hurt,
To just sit there and do nothing,
When I should have said I loved her.
She never knew how much it hurt,
To let her walk out of my life,
Never knew how much I'd miss her,
Until I felt a part of me die.
All I had left were photographs,
And this pain inside my heart,
Of the girl who loved the rain,
And who tore my world apart.
She started these fires burning,
And they still burn to this day,
But now they burn for nothing,
Because she took my heart away.
