There is not a single word
In the whole world
That could describe the hurt 
The dullest knife just sawing back in forth
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was
How were you to know?
Well, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break 
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before

Love happens all the time
to people who aren't kind
And heroes who are blind
Expecting perfect script in movie scenes
Once an awkward silence mystery
How were you to know? 
Well, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes, get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes, get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before

For all the air thats in the lungs
For all the joy that is [bad word] 
For all the things that you’re alive to feel
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
How were you to know? how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes, get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I’ve been there before
