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
