I hurt so many nights

Cried so many hours

Trying to make it right

Just didn't have the power

You ignored all of my tears

In hopes they'd disappear

I tried to let it show

But I guess... you just don't wanna know

I came to you in love

I came to you in earnest

Could you possibly explain?

Why the flames, why the furnace?

Just needing to get it clear

I was hoping you would hear

I tried to let it go

But I guess... you just don't wanna know

Now it's true that God is always there

He said He'd never leave

But at times the human touch is what I need

And if I had a dime for every time

I tried to call your name

Some tell me, I'd be wealthy

But I learned that I could cope

I discovered I could make it

In nights so long and cold

So cold, you don't know how cold

I learned that I could take it

Now I wouldn't change a thing

Not for the knowledge

Not for the knowledge that I've gained

I learned that I could grow

I really did

I tried to let it show

I did. I tried to let it go

But I guess... you just don't wanna know
