Clawfinger I Guess I'll Never Know Lyrics

After all these precious years you chose to just give in,
Why did you leave so many things undone?
I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within,
And for me your life had just begun.
Why did you think that you were never good enough to give,
When you accepted me right from the start?
I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live,
And I miss you from the bottom of my heart.

What was it that you never told a soul about yourself?
What kind of thoughts were buried deep inside?
Was there really noone there you thought would understand?
Or was the only barrier your pride?
With so much love around you, I just wish you loved yourself,
Cause noone here can ever take your place.
You were someone special and my words just can't express,
How much I miss the warmth of your embrace...

Why did you just give in?
Why did you just give up and let it go?
I guess I'll never know.
Why did you just give in?
Why did you just give up and let it go?
I guess I'll never know.
I guess I'll never know...

It's hard to see you disappear without a real goodbye,
There's so many things I wish I'd said.
But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile,
Meant more than all the tears you ever shed.
You always seemed so happy but I guess noone can tell,
What goes on inside a person's mind.
You loved your children dearly and you did your very best,
And someone new like you is hard to find.

Why did you just give in?
Why did you just give up and let it go?
I guess I'll never know.
Why did you just give in?
Why did you just give up and let it go?
I guess I'll never know.

All the things you went through for your children every day,
And all the sacrifices that you made,
Were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy,
And now that love can never be repaid.
In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore,
So you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain.
I know that you've done the same so many times before,
But all the questions in my mind remain.
