I Thought I Knew

It was the last day of the year
It was coming down in sheets
I was sitting on the street
Soaked through from the sleet
I'd had too much to drink
I called you up and drew you in
I thought I knew but I was wrong
You came to my town, I showed you around
But everywhere we went reminded me of him
I'd been lying to myself again
I called you up and drew you in
I thought I knew but I was wrong
And I took to the sky with that knowing sinking feeling
I'd only just arrived but I foresaw the end
So I lay on the couch, helpless to my blunder
You turned off the lights upon me
And went upstairs alone
You knew that I was gone
You knew I was gone
