I Wish You Knew by The Louvin Brothers Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you were no longer mine
Since you let another beat my time

[Verse]
If only half the things were true you say about my heart
Then I could have forgotten you since we've been apart
You said I forced my lips to kiss you when we said goodbye
You even said I forced the tears that came into my eyes

[Chorus]
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you were no longer mine
Since you let another beat my time

[Verse]
There's not a thought that could be worse than knowing you're gone
But in the picture in your mind, I'm never all alone
You see me in another's arms like the way I've been with you
But the way I cry for you at night, I only wish you knew
[Chorus]
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to tell you
How hard I've tried to get you off my mind
I wish you knew how hard I've tried to sleep at night
Since I know that you were no longer mine
Since you let another beat my time
