Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now you finally tell me how you feel
Guess your words just came a little too late
All the drama, boy, it's overkill
Don't be mad at me 'cause you've been replaced
Know your place
[PreChorus]
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
Told me how you really felt
Then maybe, it'd be different
If you spoke, I would've listened
But now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me too much for me to mess this up
Bet it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering where this thing could go but
[Chorus]
You will never know
What we could have been
If you would've shown
Me way back then
Boy, you gotta
Yup, yup
Boy, you shoulda
Yup, yup
But you didn't, no, so
Now you'll never know
You'll never know
[Verse 2]
Now it's probably hard for you to hear
But there's nothing left for you to say
Had my heart all in your hands
Boy, but you don't understand
Is a girl like me don't have no time to waste around
[PreChorus]
But if you woulda manned up, put your hand up, stand up
Told me how you really felt
Then maybe, it'd be different
If you spoke, I would've listened
But now I'm with somebody else
And he loves me too much for me to mess this up
Bet it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering where this thing could go but
[Chorus]
You will never know
What we could have been
If you would've shown
If you would've shown
Me way back then
Boy, you gotta
Yup, yup
Boy, you shoulda
Yup, yup
But you didn't, no, so
Now you'll never know
You'll never know
[Bridge]
You'll never know
Boy, you should've told me, told me
You'll never know
Boy, you should've let me know
You'll never know
Boy, you could've been there for me but now
You'll never know
You'll never know
[Bridge]
It's not my fault
You're a little bit too late
You're the only one to blame
Wipe that look off your face
You can wish a thousand times but
None of that will change my mind, boy
You had a chance you'll never get back
Get back
[Chorus]
You will never know
What we could have been
If you would've shown
If you would've shown me
Me way back then
Way back then, baby
Boy, you gotta
Yup, yup
Boy, you shoulda
Yup, yup
But you didn't, no, so
Now you'll never know, oh, baby
[Chorus]
You'll never know
Boy, you could've told me, told me
You'll never know
Boy, you could've let me know
You'll never know
Boy, you could've been there for me
Now you'll never know
You'll never know
[Outro]
You'll never know
No, no, no, no, you will never know, oh babe
You'll never know
No
You'll never know
