verse 1 I always pretended for your sake So you wouldn't know how you make my heart break I tried so hard to save you from yourself But I never could cry out loud for help All I did was help you tell a lie You never even knew it when I said goodbye I ran so far and I don't know why verse 2 You never even knew who I was You saw about as far as a blind man does I carried you with me every where I went I carried every thing till my back was bent All I did was help you tell a lie You never even knew it when I said goodbye It won't stop raining and I don't know why Solo verse 3 All our words are written down in chalk Out in the rain out on the sidewalk If we put all our heartaches in a stack They'd go all the way up to heaven and back We don't know all the trouble we're in We don't know how to get home again Jesus come and save us from our sins Ummm. Ummm Ummm
