Lyrics for Thought I Knew You
I thought I knew you But I was in for a suprise I let my love flow From my heart into your eyes And then I found out That there was nothing I could know Or guess about you You'd go as far as you could go And it took me years to figure out That there was nothing I could give to you Years to figure out That there was nothing You would take from me And how can I describe The way you slowly put My hope away And all of the time I thought I knew you I thought I knew you But I wasn't even close I had my heart set On little more than a ghost And I thought I'd show you There was no way we could lose I thought I'd force you To realize and choose And it took me years To figure out That there was nothing I could show to you Years to figure out That you were never really Going to choose And how can I describe The way I slowly lost My love for you And all of the time I thought I knew you [solo] And it took me years To figure out That there was nothing I could show to you Years to figure out That you were never Really going to choose And how can I describe The way I slowly lost My love for you And all of the time I thought I knew you
