I Know
Beyonce Lyrics

You're all alone and I did this
I caused you to be all alone and I am solely responsible for that

I've got no one else to blame
I cannot blame anyone else but myself for what I did

You didn't know, I was a risk
You were unaware that being with me was a risk and unpredictable

And it's such a crying shame
It is very unfortunate and regretful

How you gave me all of you
You showed me immense love and commitment

And wanted nothing else from me
You did not ask for any materialistic or worldly gain from me

But to make some time for you
All you wanted was for me to spend time with you

But all I made you was lonely
But instead, I made you feel lonely and abandoned

I couldn't see
I was blinded and unaware

But I know
But now I am aware and conscious of my mistake

That I acted selfishly
I acted only for my own benefit, without considering your feelings

I shoulda known
I should have been aware or cautious

That I let you down
I disappointed you and did not meet your expectations

Caused you so much misery
I put you in a lot of pain and distress

Forever to bleed
The wounds I caused will last forever

I shoulda been there
I should have been physically and emotionally present

All of the times
Every instance when

You used to cry
You felt very upset and cried

Because I would let you down
Because of my disappointing actions

I'm losing time
I am running out of time to make up for my mistakes

I shoulda tried
I should have made an effort to do better

A little more to be around
I should have spent a little more time with you

But I didn't know that you were hurting
I was not aware that you were feeling pain

I was just to blind
I was too ignorant and could not see the reality

Only thing I know for certain
The only sure thing I know

Another you I'll never find
I can never find someone like you

I'm through with regret
I am done feeling guilty about my actions

I'm gonna tip and soak myself in misery
I will suffer for what I did

Now in yo life
Now, in your life

I'll take more time
I will make more time for you

No more yearning without me
You will not have to desire my presence

But it hurts to think of you all by yo self
But it pains me to imagine you alone

But now I see
But now I have understood and realized

And I apologize for all the times
And I am sorry for all the times

I left you home waiting for me!
I made you wait for me at home and did not show up

I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I promise to be physically and emotionally present

Uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Repeating vocalization
