I Guess I'll Never Know

After all these precious years you chose to just give in Why did you leave so many things undone I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within And for me your life had just begun Why did you think that you were never good enough to give When you accepted me right from the start I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live And i miss you from the bottom of my heart What was it that you never told a soul about yourself What kind of thoughts were buried inside Was there really no one there you thought would understand Or was the only barrier your pride With so much love around you i just wish you'd loved yourself 'cos no one here can ever take your place You were someone special and my words just can't express How much i miss the warmth of your embrace Why did you just give in Why did you just give up and let it go I guess I'll never know It's hard to see you disappear without a real good bye There's so many things i wish I'd said But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile Ment more than all the tears you ever shed You always seemed so happy but I guess no one can tell What goes on inside a persons mind You loved your children dearly and you did your very best And someone new like you is hard to find Chorus All the things you went through for your children every day And all the sacrifices that you made Were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy And now that love can never be repayed In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore So you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain I know that you've done the same so many times before But all the questions in my mind remain
