Didn't You Know How Much I Cared?

Looking silently

Wishing she were mine

But never having a chance

And knowing that too.

She has no idea

That I'm always thinking

Of her and her boy

That girl was nothing.

Breaking the heart

That so many think is made of stone

Cracking the fragile inside

That is my core.

Before you go any further

I need to tell you

Those simple words

I love you.

My dear, don't you know?

I am leaving here

It's just too hard to bear

The thought of seeing you with him.

The painful good-bye

Only said through a note

As the tears fall

I wish you all the happiness in the World.

I say how much I care

And how much I will miss you

How much you hurt me

And that I love you

I always will

My beautiful bird

Spread my wings

And take off into the dark.
