Let's do better about being there for each other.
"Just Don't Wanna Know"
I hurt so many nights. Cried so many hours. Trying to make it right. Just didn't have the power. You ignored all of my tears. In hopes they'd disappear. I tried to let it show.
But I guess... you just don't wanna know
I came to you in love. I came to you in earnest. Could you possibly explain? Why the flames, why the furnace? Just needing to get it clear. I was hoping you would hear. I tried to let it go.
But I guess... you just don't wanna know.
Now it's true that God is always there. He said He'd never leave. But at times the human touch is what I need. And if I had a dime for every time I tried to call your name. Some tell me, I'd be wealthy.
But I learned that I could cope. I discovered I could make it. In nights so long and cold. So cold, you don't know how cold. I learned that I could take it. Now I wouldn't change a thing. Not for the knowledge, not for the knowledge that I've gained.
I learned that I could grow. I really did, I tried to let it show. I did. I tried to let it go.
But I guess... you just don't wanna know.

Layered lyrics. I like the line "But I learned that I could cope." There are so many good lines here. Thanks for this post Judith.
Pleasure, Kelly. Over the weekend I watched "I Can Do Bad All by Myself" by Tyler Perry and this song was in the movie. The movie version has a wonderful refrain that includes the words "it's over now." It was touching.
