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 a 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
 
 You're eyes are sad but you still smile
 
 You're right beside me, but are you ever 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
 
 You're eyes are sad but you still smile
 
 You're right beside me, but are you ever 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 cowered 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
