Keep You Happy

I'm not sure I'll ever understand
What exactly got us where we are now
Looking back everything is a blur
But somewhere in the fray I lost you somehow
I'm not trying to say that nothing was my fault
Retrospectively I see I didn't give my all
But why couldn't words suffice to keep you happy?

Oh, all the countless hours I've spent
Thinking of the times we've had together
When I told you that I'd love you always
Did you not know always meant forever?
I guess I should have shown you
Just what you meant to me
'Cause for my hesitation
I was given misery
But now I think I understand
Just what I should have done
Now I know what made you run

It's all so clear, 'cause now I know
I can't just say it, I have to show
I can't expect someone to read my mind
And know just how I feel inside

And now that I've got it figured out
I'll have to write it down
And send it back in time
To when you were still around
You'll finally understand
Everything we could be
And all the sudden you'll
Appear right next to me

It's all so clear, 'cause now I know
I can't just say it, I have to show
I can't expect someone to read my mind
And know just how I feel inside

It's all so clear, 'cause now I know
I can't just say it, I have to show
And I'm expecting you to read my mind
But know I couldn't - words suffice to keep you happy
To keep you happy
