I Wish I Knew - The Louvin Brothers

I wish you knew how hard I’ve tried to tell you

How hard I’ve tried to get you off my mind

I wish you knew how hard I’ve tried to sleep at night

Since I know that you’re no longer mine

Since you let another beat my time

If only half the things were true you say about my heart

Then I would have forgotten you since we’ve been apart

You said I forced my lips to kiss you when we said goodbye

You even said I forced the tears that came into my eyes

There’s not a thought that could be worse than knowing that you’re gone

But in the picture in your mind I’m never all alone

You see me in another’s arms just like I’ve been with you

By the way I cry for you each night I only wish you knew
