Don't Know How

I've cradled my heart in a thousand ways
 Looked for reasons in passing days
 When light becomes a fuzzy haze
 And my skull's consumed by a mindless maze
 When dreams are all that I dream about
 And you are what I cannot do without
 It's hard to know I'm the only one
 Inside this room where there is no doubt
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 To escape my heart and turn back now
 Well, it came to me as such a surprise
 When I felt the depth of your open eyes
 And I know the kindness that you can give
 In the way that you care, in the way that you live
 I've watched your light just flicker and dim
 But never go out when you think of him
 It shines right through each and every friend
 Gets brighter with each loving word you send
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 To escape my heart and turn back now
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 I know I love you, I don't know how
 To escape my heart and turn back now
 Well, everything is better when you're near
 And friendship doesn't have to end here
 A love song can be made of anything
 I don't say it well, so I sing
 And I guess when our bones are raptured and gone
 Or ashes in the rising dawn
 There will be a place where we belong
 In the fields and forests and fortresses strong
 No more reasons to explain away
 The reasons a person can never stay
 Or understand you in any way
 Because of something you couldn't say
 I know I love you, and I know how
 I know I love you, and I know how
 I know I love you, and I know how
 To escape my heart and turn back now
 I know I love you, I always will
 I know I love you, I always will
 I know I love you, I always will
 When the evening's quiet and the wind is still
