Alexandra Burke They Don't Know song lyrics

I went to the doctor to open 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 know

I 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 know

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

I 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 pair's walking by empty-handed

'Cause they don't know

They don't know

I 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 know that

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...
