You Never Knew

I may have cracked a smile when I heard your awful news It's not because I don’t feel awful about those things he said to you But because it opens up a topic that I really have been meaning to talk through I can see how you’d feel anxious to sit down and talk with me Scars are often left by people whose intentions go unseen But the sea remains anonymous, no boot marks left by schooner ships to see When I cross these hills and reach my home Dulled my pains will be But for now, I’ll keep them close to me I promise to act normal if this all turns out the same I promise not to keep on testing different fonts out with your name On the pages of the notebooks that I’ve had with me since the seventh grade When I cross these hills and reach my home Dulled my pains will be But for now, I’ll keep them close to me I’ve been cutting back on things that I don’t need Like food, and air, and sleep I do it just to make more time for you You never knew, and now you do When I cross these hills and reach my home Dulled my pains will be But for now, I’ll keep them close to me But for now, I’ll keep them close to me
