18. I Knew Nothing

Written by HJadeColes

Oh, it's all over now.

I should step out on that stage,

Take a bow.

Oh, what have I done?

I didn't think bout what'd happen if I jumped the gun.

I've, messed up big.

I never mean to go down so deep when I dig.

I've, gone too far.

I'm now sat on my own, alone, lonely, not up to par.

I knew nothing, yeah

Didn't have to know anything,

So why did I keep digging, for something,

Felt I had to know everything,

You weren't ready for sharing...

And I knew nothing, yeah

Didn't have to know anything,

Yet I kept asking, and asking for everything,

For you to tell me anything

We weren't ready, for knowing,

And I should've known that.

Oh, can't I see?

I am stupid, why didn't I think just to let you be.

Oh, I can't breathe.

I am gone now but each breath it still hurts me.

I've, taken a leap.

I'll never see you again but memories are painful to keep.

I've, passed the line.

I'm now sat on my own alone lonely passing time.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

So why did I keep digging, for something,

Felt I had to know everything,

You weren't ready for sharing

And I should've known that.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

Yet I kept asking, and asking for everything,

For you to tell me anything

We weren't ready, for knowing,

And I should've known that.

I know that sorry isn't enough,

I know that talking is tough,

I know that the roads are rough,

I know that you still feel you're cuffed

To the hurt that I didn't need to know about.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

So why did I keep digging, for something,

Felt I had to know everything,

You weren't ready for sharing

And I should've known that.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

Yet I kept asking, and asking for everything,

For you to tell me anything

We weren't ready, for knowing,

And I should've known that.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

So why did I keep digging,
for something,

Felt I had to know everything,

You weren't ready for sharing

And I should've known that.

I knew nothing,

Didn't have to know anything,

Yet I kept asking, and asking for everything,

For you to tell me anything

We weren't ready, for knowing,

And I should've known that.
