I tell myself that I don't need you near me,
And I believe it sometimes.
But there are days I wish that you could hear me,
And those days I wonder why.

And there are nights I sit alone and think of you
And I realise, I realise I know the truth...

That I never knew just how much I missed you
And I never knew just how much I cared.
But I'll always know how you loved it when I kissed you...
But I never knew...
I never knew I loved you.

I'll live on with out you near me.
I'll keep on movin' on.
I know you like... you like to be free
And we'll always sing our songs.

And I'll survive without your loving arms around me.
I'm still alive with my smile and my own heart to guide me...

But I never knew just how much I missed you
And I never knew just how much I cared.
But I'll always know how you loved it when I kissed you...
But I never knew...
I never knew I loved you.
