I hurt so many nights
Cried so many hours
Trying to make it right
Just didn't have the power
You ignored all my tears
In hopes they'd disappear
I tried to let it show
But I guess, you just don't wanna know
I came to you in love
I came to you in earnest
Could you possibly explain
Why the flames? Why the furnace?
Just needing to get it clear
I was hoping that you would hear
I tried to let it go
But I guess you just don't wanna know
Now it's true that God is always there
He said He'd never leave
But at times a human touch is what I need
And if I had a dime for every time I tried to call your name
Some tell me, I'd be wealthy
But I learned that I could cope
I discovered I could make it
In a night so long and cold
I learned that I could take it
Now I wouldn't change a thing
Not for the knowledge that I've gained
I learned that I could grow
I tried to let let it show
I tried to let it go
But I guess you just don't wanna know
