It's the Not Knowing

It's not that you might leave me lonely I know I could cope if your heart became a ghost I know what to do when I'm on my own It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most It's not that if you told me you met someone better Or if you had to break a promise, break an oath If you prefer to feel some other's touch It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most In your silence, I sense a thousand words Your eyes are sad but you still smile You're right beside me, but are you even here It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most I'm sure you meant all that you said, at the time I believe you can't be made of stone We both know it's OK to change your mind It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most In your silence, I sense a thousand words Your eyes are sad but you still smile You're right beside me, but are you even here It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most I can tell, your head is somewhere else I can read the signs that I need help I can take your truth, tell me Tell me what I know Don't be a coward boy Let me free just, let me go We haven't said it but I know it So hold me one last time before you go You gave me so much to remember, baby It was just the not knowing, that hurt the most --- It's the Not Knowing - Paloma Faith
