I didn't know

Could have been there, could have saved you
But you were gone, you were long gone
I could have held you, and I could have felt you
It's all for nothing 'cause you were running
And where were you escaping to?
And baby now, were you gonna go?
I didn't ask you, I didn't force you
You didn't tell me so I didn't know
And I don't mind 'cause you walked out
And you left me in the cold
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, 'cause I didn't know

All attention, all the eyes upon you
I can't find you, I really can't find you
I should have told you more
But I told you time enough, it's all for nothing
What are you scared of?
Then where were you escaping to?
And baby now, where you gonna go?
I didn't ask you, I didn't force you
You didn't tell me so I didn't know
And I don't mind 'cause you walked out
And you left me in the cold
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, 'cause I didn't know

And where were you escaping to?
Baby now, where you gonna go?
I didn't ask you, I didn't force you
You didn't tell me so I didn't know
And I don't mind that you walked out
And you leave me in the cold
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, 'cause I didn't know
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, 'cause I didn't know

It doesn't matter 'cause you're behind me
But you took my heart, and my life and energy
And if you come back, I won't be happy
What did you think, you were gonna get to me?
'Cause I've been out there and you need to learn
That I'm just ahead of you in everything you do
'Cause I can love somebody and you don't mean nothing
So I really don't care about you

And where were you escaping to?
Oh baby now, where were you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
I don't deserve this no more
So where were you escaping to?
Baby now, where were you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
You don't deserve me, you don't know me
You can take your way and I'll be taking mine
And I don't mind that you walked out
'Cause I got my peace of mind
It doesn't matter I can't cry, I'm gonna be alright
It doesn't matter I can't cry, gonna be alright
Oh, it doesn't matter I can't cry, it doesn't matter I
can't cry
Hey, you don't deserve me, and you don't know me
So you can take your way and I'll be taking mine
And I don't mind that you walked out
'Cause I have my peace of mind
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, I'm gonna be alright
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, I'm gonna be alright
It doesn't matter, I can't cry, I'm gonna be alright
