You never know what you have till it's lost to someone else
You never understand until the end
You never want to be advised of what you had
And yet, you never have a shadow of a doubt
You never think about anything until it doesn't matter
You never see a clear picture without

Then all at once, your life falls apart
and you're left within the depths of a personal hell, unable to be broken
away from, and you wonder what if you had done different
and you realize nothing really matters

You always did everything they way they wanted, but never how they expected
You always protected as they knew you would, disregarding the loss
You always trusted, but sometimes too much

(Refrain)

Then all at once, you wonder why
You recapture all the stabbings
you pull out the knife and stare at the wounds,
the scars that you never knew existed

When did they
How could they
What were they
Why would they
Where have they
Who are they
