never knew

I never knew how much it could hurt to have someone not tell you happy birthday.

i never knew how it would kill me to hurt you.

i never knew how mean you could be.

i never knew how much of a heart you had.

i never knew how much that heart of yours could break.

i never knew before the summer how much i loved you.

i never knew how you were abused.

i never knew how alike we were.

i never knew how much you loved me.

i just never knew how..how sorry i’d be

but you don’t know how much you can hurt me by not lifting a finger..
