Knowing You Makes It Harder 

I understand you too well 

I understand how we fell apart. 

But it doesn't matter what you did to my heart, 

I would let you rip me apart 

again and again 

because I see the man within. 

I know the good that could be, 

that lives inside and you try to hide

the gentle, 

kind, 

soft side, 

the one that wants to be a father 

but thinks 'oh why bother?' 

I want to be the one to show you 

how much your goodness can grow

if you only let the world know 

I am here, 

I am alive with pride 

but I understand 

how to be humble. 

I see the best you, 

and I want the world to see that 

you included 

but how can I do that? 

Far away from me 

I miss you so 

why did I let you go?
