I didn't know...

I didn't know how it would feel to know you
Didn't know it would unravel me
The way it has
I didn't know how to tell you

I couldn't know that your very touch
Would spin into everything I needed
Sinking far beneath my skin
Engraving itself deep within me
And leaving me with nothing
When you decided to take it away

I didn't know I would feel this lost
When I couldn't find you today
