The Things That I Don't Know
Hidden Heartbreak: Unseen Truths in Love
Lyrics
I've heard it said, what you don't know
Hearing that ignorance is bliss
Won't make you blue
Believing that not knowing won't bring sadness
But somehow with these words I can't agree
Expressing disagreement with the idea
'Cause it's not the things I know you do
Stating that knowledge of your actions affects emotions
That breaks my heart, you see
Clarifying that it's not the known actions causing pain
It's the things that I don't know that's killin' me
Emphasizing the distress caused by undisclosed matters
I don't see you when you meet him secretly
Not witnessing secret meetings
But I think your arms have held him tenderly
Suspecting affectionate moments with someone else
So it's not the things I know you do
Reiterating that known actions are not the source of pain
That breaks my heart, you see
Highlighting the impact of undisclosed matters on emotions
It's the things that I don't know that's killin' me
Reiterating the distress caused by unknown facts
The little things that you don't notice
Pointing out the significance of unnoticed details
Hurts me so
Expressing pain caused by the ignorance of small things
Little things no one but me could ever know
Referencing personal details known only to the speaker
I will keep them hidden so no one will ever see
Deciding to keep these details hidden from others
It's the things that I don't know that's killin' me
Reiterating the impact of unknown information on well-being
I don't see you when you meet him secretly
Not observing secretive interactions
But I think your arms have held him tenderly
Suspecting intimate embraces with another person
So it's not the things I know you do
Emphasizing that known actions are not the cause of heartbreak
That breaks my heart, you see
Reiterating the emotional impact of undisclosed matters
It's the things that I don't know that's killin' me
Reemphasizing the distress caused by unknown facts
