Don't Know How

I've cradled my heart in a thousand ways

Looked for reasons in passing days

When light becomes a fuzzy haze

And my skull's consumed by a mindless maze

When dreams are all that I dream about

And you are what I cannot do without

It's hard to know I'm the only one

Inside this room where there is no doubt

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

To escape my heart and turn back now

Well, it came to me as such a surprise

When I felt the depth of your open eyes

And I know the kindness that you can give

In the way that you care, in the way that you live

I've watched your light just flicker and dim

But never go out when you think of him

It shines right through each and every friend

Gets brighter with each loving word you send

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

To escape my heart and turn back now

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

I know I love you, I don't know how

To escape my heart and turn back now

Well, everything is better when you're near

And friendship doesn't have to end here

A love song can be made of anything

I don't say it well, so I sing

And I guess when our bones are raptured and gone

Or ashes in the rising dawn

There will be a place where we belong

In the fields and forests and fortresses strong

No more reasons to explain away

The reasons a person can never stay

Or understand you in any way

Because of something you couldn't say

I know I love you, and I know how

I know I love you, and I know how

I know I love you, and I know how

To escape my heart and turn back now

I know I love you, I always will

I know I love you, I always will
