Who knew

Folder: 
story of my life

I've tried to stop him
tried to make him see
but he's always so blind
to what it's doing to me

Who knew
I could love someone so much
Who knew
Pain could be such a rush

I just want to stop it
how can i make this all go away
I just want things to go back to the way they used to be
Take me back to yesterday

He's wretched
He's wasted
the bottle washed him away
I can smell the taste he tasted

Who knew
one swig could lose my trust
Who knew
the truth will never be enough

You hurt me
you made me cry
I just want to be happy again
How could you lie?

Who knew
my life could be turned up side down
Who knew
I'd have to turn you around

I've tried to stop him
but all he does is fight
all I ever wanted was us
Who knew it wouldn't go right?
