"He Doesn't Know" lyrics

If you ever pass by where I used to live
And should you bump in to the man I was with
Back when I didn't know what to believe
Please will you tell him from me?

That I loved him with every beat of my heart
I'd tremble with longing when we were apart
Oh, I'd ache to pull him in close
And I don't think he knows

The last thing I heard he was losing his job
I guess they'd found out that he rarely turned up
He hated it there only stayed for me
Please will you make him believe?

That I always thought you should follow your dreams
However hard and uncertain it seems
I'd have loved him whatever he chose
And I don't think he knows

Our lives grew apart, it's been just over a year
For reasons I can't really tell you about here
Love wasn't nearly enough in the end
Please will you tell him again?

That I hurt myself more than I ever hurt him
I wasn't as distant and cold as I seemed
I was lost all the way into my bones
I don't think he knows

When the dust had settled he moved on as well
He found a new girl that he loved, I could tell
And my mind started wandering jealously
Please will you ask him from me?

If really he thought that I was the one
Or were we just sharing some time on the run?
Did he love me with peace and with hope?
I don't really know
