Lyrics
I never thought I'd be right here
with my back against the wall
I never thought I'd lose you my dear
I was wrong...so wrong
Baby I see the sandstorm in your eyes
I know you're leaving me tonight
(chorus)
You didn't know I was the broken one
You didn't know I'd thrown my gold back to the sea
I've buried all my treasures in the past
I've used up all the best of me
You didn't know I was the broken one
I never thought I'd burn so fast
I never thought I'd waste it all
I always thought I could make this last
I was wrong..so wrong
Baby I know your leaving me behind
and the memory of your love won't fade with time
You didn't know I was the broken one
You didn't know I'd thrown my gold back to the sea
I've buried all my treasures in the past
I've used up all the best of me
You didn't know I was the broken one
All my diamonds have turned to coal
All my riches have plundered
My good stories have all been told
You didn't know I was the broken one
