I Cared For You More Than I Knew

You say it’s better if we drift apart Although you see that it’s breaking my heart How can you leave me so lonely and blue Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you We once was so happy it all seems a shame And do you feel like that I am to blame Dear if I failed you oh please tell me now And then maybe we can patch it up somehow Now that I’ve lost you the whole world seems wrong I don’t see how I can face it alone For I’ve tried so hard to do right by you And really I cared for you more than I knew When I first met you I heard people say That there’d come a time when you’d treat me this way I did not believe them I just let them rave Determined to stick by you clear to the grave It would have been better had we never met Then I would not have so much to forget If I’d only dreamed dear that there’d come this day Five years I could have used better some way You say it’s better if we drift apart Although you see that it’s breaking my heart How can you leave me so lonely and blue Knowing just how I’ve been counting on you
