I Knew

I knew that you loved me
When you walked me to class in the dark
I knew that you loved me
When you ran to the store for a card
You couldn't find a pen so you
Asked someone sweetly
You wrote out a note and you
Ran back to meet me
And gave it to me on the bridge
I said I would never forget this
And I never did

I knew that you loved me
When you walked me back home one night
I knew that you loved me
When I saw that my shoe was untied
You bent down to tie it
In the middle of the street
There was snow everywhere
It was turning to sleet but I
Knew when you looked up at me
This was where I was meant to be

So why?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to go so soon?
And why?
Why did you leave me there?
Why did you leave me without you?
And why did I think I knew?

I knew that you loved me
But you told me we just weren't right
And I knew that I loved you
When I couldn't fall asleep that night
I miss hearing all of your favorite songs
And I wish I could tell you to turn it all off
One more time
And everyone laughs
And then it is quiet

Why?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to go so soon?
And why?
Why did you leave me there?
Why did you leave me without you?
And why did I think I knew?
