I Thought She Knew
written by: Rae
"She was my once in lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should've told her
But I thought she knew..."

Mark slumped over in the chair and let the tears flow freely. She was a
beautiful girl, and she meant the world to him. They had met through mutual
friends. He was infatuated with everything about her. The way she walked, the
way she smiled, the way she did that cute little things with her eyebrows
when she was mad at him. Everything about her intrigued him. He was
overwhelmed by her on an everyday basis. Every moment he spent with her he
cherished. He looked forward to hearing her voice in the morning, the same
thing put him to sleep at night. She was the only thing that kept him sane
through all the madness. He loved her more then he could even comprehend. He
depended on her, she was his once in a lifetime.

"She said I took her for granted
It's the last thing I would do
Oh, I'll never understand it
I thought she knew..."

She felt neglected. She had to, he wasn't around to take care of her. He
wasn't there to plead his love to her day in and day out, like she had
wanted. She thought he took advantage of his situation and chose to leave her
behind, and take her for granted. His job had pulled him in a million
directions, and as much as he loved her, he couldn't give up his dreams. She
would never let him do that anyway. But there was one other thing he couldn't
do ... he couldn't tell her how much he loved her. She wanted, needed, to
hear those words from him. She was always there for him, she tried to give
him everything, but he couldn't just say those words to her.

"I thought she knew my world
Revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known, I should have known.
I thought she knew my world
Revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known, I should have known..."

No matter how many times he attempted to tell her, something was holding him
back. He was too scared. He was overwhelmed by all the feelings that rushed
through his body. And if he couldn't handle it, how would he expect her to.
Most of all he couldn't find the strength within himself to let her know that
she meant the world to him. To let her know that whatever he was doing, he
was doing it for her. But he didn't worry too much about it, he assumed she
already knew...she had to...

"A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul
To have this silence broken
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known..."

Instantly, there was nothing left for him to do. She was gone. She left him,
deserted him in his pool of misery. He didn't know what to do...lifeless. She
meant everything to him, yet he never told her. Never told her how happy she
made him, how every thought he came up with was about her, how much control
she had over him, and most importantly how much he loved her. It would've
been one simple step to have just told her three little words. None of this
would've happened if he could've just opened his mouth and his heart and told
her. But ... he thought she knew.

"She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
Ooohhhhhh
Ooohhhhhh
I thought that she knew."
