To One Too Alone - Two Alone Too Bad

Why didn't you tell me  
You had feelings deep within your heart?  
Hoping I would ask you  
To hook up and never fall apart  
I would have jumped right in  
I would have loved to sink and swim  
I would have given you anything  
And shared your every sin  
 
Why didn't you tell me  
You allowed me in your broken mind?  
Hoping I would fix it  
And glue each cracked shell fragment into place  
I could not see it in your eyes  
I could not imagine to realize  
I never heard it in your soft blue voice  
I never knew I was your only choice  
And never got to see your smile  
 
Why didn't you tell me?  
You wanted me to take the task  
To bare your burdens and be the cask  
For all the shattered dreams and broken promises  
And the smiles you wore behind your frowning mask  
Cos it's just cooler to express unfeeling grimaces  
Than to let me see a face that wasn't made of wax  
Too late I see with clarity the question I must ask  
Why didn't I tell you?
