You don't understand
What I've been through
For the privilege
Of falling at your feet
You'll never know
That I walked through fire
Or turned my feet to bloody shreds
Walking across glass
You're unaware
That you stand on a knife handle
And that I came across the blade
Just for you
You've never supposed
That I walked without shoes
On thin ice
Because I had to
If I wanted to get to you
You'd never think that any of these happened
But they did
And now I kneel at your feet
Heart in my hand
Praying that you do understand
But you don't
You laugh at my offering
Of my heart
It is all I have
But I would give it to you without a thought
And instead of taking it
You smash it
Because you don't understand
You never will
What I've been through
For the privilege
Of falling at your feet
You'll never know
That I walked through fire
Or turned my feet to bloody shreds
Walking across glass
You're unaware
That you stand on a knife handle
And that I came across the blade
Just for you
You've never supposed
That I walked without shoes
On thin ice
Because I had to
If I wanted to get to you
You'd never think that any of these happened
But they did
And now I kneel at your feet
Heart in my hand
Praying that you do understand
But you don't
You laugh at my offering
Of my heart
It is all I have
But I would give it to you without a thought
And instead of taking it
You smash it
Because you don't understand
You never will
