They Don't Know

I went to the doctor and opened up my heart
Got my symptoms all mixed up, he didn't know where to start
Ain't no doctor in this world that can keep a broken heart from falling apart
'Cause they don't know, oh, they don't knowI went to my mother to show me how to cry
She said, "Baby let me shed your tears, I'll make the sacrifice"
But ain't no crying in this world's gonna take the place of mine
'Cause they don't know, they don't knowSome questions have answers and others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know the answer is love
But they don't know, oh, they don't knowI went to my brother to help me understand
Asked him why they're walking by, don't seem to give a damn
Don't they see the love they pass walking by empty handed?
'Cause they don't know, they don't knowI went to my father to get some prayer for me
He said I hold my head up high 'cause there's something there for me
Crying but I'm smiling through 'cause suddenly I see
What they don't know, they don't knowThat sometimes some questions have answers and others just lead you on
Some answers don't answer enough
But I know the answer is love
But they don't know, oh, they don't know
