I Wish I Knew

[Verse 1]
It's getting hard you
And the things I thought you said
But I know that in your heart
Nothing was right
Hoping not to notice
Even though you've had a few
You know that no one in your way
Would put up a fight

[Pre-Chorus]
And didn't you have
The chance to blow it
In a hundred different ways?

[Chorus]
If you were with me then
I never knew
It couldn't have lasted long
It never could

[Verse 2]
If you thought that I was counting
On the space
And the messages of love you sent to me
Looking for a way to show it
And the strength to follow through
On the things I promised to
Deliver to you

[Pre-Chorus]
But didn't I have
The chance to show it
In a hundred different ways?

[Chorus]
If you were with me then
I never knew
It wouldn't have lasted long
It never could
How'd you get to be
Misunderstood?
Singing a different song
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
If you were with me then
I never knew
It wouldn't have lasted long
It never could
How'd you get to be
Misunderstood?
Singing a different song
I wish I knew
I wish I knew

[Outro]
I wish I knew
