Maybe I Knew

So many songs for unrequited love
 I don't know if even one comes close to this
 But what I'd give to see your eyes
 When you finally realise this one is about you
 I'm sorry to tell you this way
 Maybe I knew what you'd say
 You don't feel the same
 You're not to blame
 I just can't bear to be near you this way
 This hurt runs so deep
 How can I keep this up?
 I'm sorry to tell you this way
 Maybe I knew what you'd say
 Remember when it snowed that night
 I told you that we shouldn't drive, you went home
 A thousand times I have tried
 To wash your image from my mind, you still linger
 I'm sorry to tell you this way
 Somehow I knew what you'd say
 You don't feel the same
 You're not to blame
 I just can't bear to be near you this way
 This hurt runs so deep
 How can I keep this up?
 I'm sorry to tell you this way
 Maybe I knew what you'd say
 What if I read you my letters?
 Would you use all the paper for fire?
 And I think you still wouldn't get it
 You'd light up the sky, as you say goodbye
 You don't feel the same
 You're not to blame
 I just can't bear to be near you this way
 This hurt runs so deep
 How can I keep this up?
 I'm sorry to tell you this way
 Maybe I knew
 Maybe I knew, maybe I knew what you'd say
