Lyrics:
Verse
I was diggin through our closet tryin to find my winter coat and hat
And I stumbled on a shoebox full of letters and a diary in the back
I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't help but start to read them
And I found out all your dreams were coming true
But the words hit like a hammer when it wasn’t about me and you
Chorus
It’s what I didn’t want to know but I’m findin’ out
Even though it happened years ago it matters to me now
The pain inside is reaching just as deep as it can go
How much he meant to you is what I didn’t want to know
Verse
As I read on I learned that you were seeing both of us at the same time
And I couldn’t hardly breath when my finger pointed to the line
That said you’d give up everything to spend your life with him
Now I know it wasn’t meant to be
It was then I finally realized you must have settled for me
Chorus - Repeat
Bridge
Now my discovery is something I regret
And how much time will I need to somehow help me forget
Chorus - Repeat

How much he meant to you is what I didn’t want to know
