Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece
She knew that it wasn't his fault, she hadn't told him. Yet she knew that as he slept she'd receive even more messages and they would crush and destroy her spirit, bit by bit. She knew that the following morning she would wake up and try to remind herself why she even bothered. Sometimes she couldn't.
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time
She's held captive by her own fears, her own mind. It wasn't like she wasn't ready to forgive her bully, she'd already come to the conclusion that her bully must be pretty upset if she felt the need to make Riley's miserable, yet to forget?. Forgetting was harder, the damage and words were still there. Words that no matter how hard she tried were permantly ingrained into her brain.
I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
When Lucas found out he held her as she cried, she told him they couldn't be anything more than friends because he was worth so much more than her. He said he'd wait. When she told him what her bully said he had tears in his eyes, he loved her but she didn't lover herself. So he said he would make sure she was never to be afraid again. He did.
Little do you know
I know you're hurting while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece
He knew he'd hurt her, when he didn't tell her about what happened in Texas. Yet although that mistake weighed heavily on his shoulders what hurt more was knowing that she couldn't come to him. He knew that whilst he slept she was hurting, it was obvious. So he solemnly swore to help her repair, he owed her that much.
Little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies
Oh wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain,
Just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid,
Just wait
Our love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
He loved her that much was obvious. So as he watched her stand up to her demons his heart swelled because no matter how broken she was, she was always his sunshine.
