Lyrics

You Never Knew My Mind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I know you feel the way I change, but you can't change the way I feel

Sometimes I'm a stranger to you, one of a kind

And I think someway you'll make it, though you don't know how to take it

Sometimes you're a stranger to me, one of a kind

There were times of lots of laughter

And you felt you understood

We were carefree, open and honest

Loving easy, kind and true

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were all together fine

You never really knew my mind

You never really knew my mind

My silence holds the secrets when I answer but don't answer

You did not see me well enough to recognize the signs

You didn't want to notice or know that it was over

I did not see you well enough to recognize the signs

And there were times of lots of laughter

And you felt you understood

We were carefree, open and honest

Loving easy, kind and true

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were all together fine

Then you saw the changes painfully

And you knew, you never really knew my mind

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were all together fine

Sometimes I'm a stranger to you

And sometimes you're a stranger to me

Sometimes, maybe all the time

You never really knew my mind

I never really knew your mind
