If You Knew

If you lived
In my life
You would know
All the pain

If you knew
All the pain
You would cry
Every single night

If you cried
Every single night
You wouldn’t know
Who to blame

If you didn’t know
Who to blame
You would assume
It’s all your fault

If you assumed
It was all your fault
You would hate
Yourself

If you hated
Yourself
You wouldn’t know
What to do

If you didn’t know
What to do
You would take your life
Like thousands of others do

If you took your life
Like thousands of others do
You would never know
Just what you’re worth

But you don’t need
To live in my life
To understand
The pain you cause
