"I Cared More For You Than I Knew" lyrics

You say it's better that we drift apart
Although you see that it's breaking my heart
How can you leave me so lonely and blue
Knowing just how I've been counting on you?
We once were so happy, it all seems a shame
And do you feel like that I am to blame
Dear, if I failed you, oh, please tell me now
Then maybe, we can patch it up somehow

Now that I've lost you, the whole world seems wrong
I don't see how I can face it alone
For I tried so hard to do right by you
And really, I cared for you more than I knew

When I first met you, I heard people say
That there'd come a time when you'd treat me this way
I did not believe them, I just let them rave
Determined to stick by you clear to the grave
It would have been better had we never met
Then I would not have so much to forget
If I'd only dreamed it, that there'd come this day
I [?] I could have you better someway

Now that I've lost you, the whole world seems wrong
I don't see how I can face it alone
For I tried so hard to do right by you
And really, I cared for you more than I knew
