I Hope They Know

I don't know how to tell you

Because I know it's going to hurt;

I feel like you gave me love,

And I'm treating you like dirt.

REFRAIN:

I hope they know you're not the one,

Who broke somebody's heart.

I hope they know you're not the one,

Who tore our bond apart.

I hope you know I never planned,

To cause you any pain,

And if there was another way,

I'd chase away the rain.

This doesn't mean that I'll stay,

Because that won't really be a cure.

It hurts more to live a lie,

Than to just walk out the door.

REFRAIN

I know I may seem cruel,

But I hope that you can understand.

It's like a friend once told me,

You're a boy- I need a man.

REFRAIN

Don't think I won't cry tonight,

And please don't think that I've stopped caring.

But this is better for us,

Than love that we weren't sharing.

REFRAIN
