i thought i really knew you,
turns out i hadn't a clue.
i thought i'd give it all for you,
well i guess thats the part thats true.

i knew the things you hated, and everything you adored,
and all the things that made you laugh, the things that i
ignored.
i saw you cry great tears of guilt, beside my bed that
night,
i watched so helpless as a ghost, trying to stay out of
sight.

i never meant to hurt you, nor take for granted what we
had,
and now you're gone, i can't go on, everything is turning
bad.
i wish that i had one more day, to tell you the things i
should,
instead i tell it to a post, a cross made out of wood.

i'm sorry i was so useless, that i couldn't hear your
cries,
i guess we both had that in common, a convincing sort of
disguise.
almost a year has come and past since that day i won't
forget,
and now i'm left, i'm all alone, with the things  i now
regret.
