Lyrics: Marvin Winans. Alone But Not Alone. Just Don't Wanna Know.


[Verse:]
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
