Knew You

I met you back when we were young

Saw your heart break and fall in love

Watched you lose when you should've won

I knew your insecurities

Told you things that I usually hide

Never thought they'd be weaponized

Now you're gettin' high by knockin' me down

It's easy feelin' big in a small town

Honey, I see who you are when no one's around

And it's pretty ugly

I was there when it hit the fan

But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you

'Cause I never knew you

Have you always been a stranger?

Or does something make it change?

If this ain't the new you

I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all

They should give you a golden globe

'Cause you put on one hell of a show

I'll be gone 'fore the credits roll

Now you're climbin' up by pushin' me down

It's easy feelin' big in a small town

Honey, I know how you are when no one's around

It's pretty ugly

I was there when it hit the fan

But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you

(I didn't lose you) 'cause I never knew you

(I never knew you) have you always been a stranger?

Or does something make it change?

If this ain't the new you (if this ain't the new you)

I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all

Hey, how many aces do you hold?

Act tough, call your bluff like a hustle, 'cause you fold

How many faces do you own?

You think a dollar makes you taller

But listen, child, you ain't grown

Thought you would be the one to call

Rise and fall, through it all, hold up, wait a minute now

Can't even recognize the truth, you change into

Someone who I never knew, oh, lord

I was there when it hit the fan

But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you

(I didn't lose you) 'cause I never knew you

(I never knew you) have you always been a stranger?

Or does something make it change?

If this ain't the new you (if this ain't the new you)

I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all

(Never knew you)

(Never knew you)

I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all

(Never knew you)

I never knew you (never knew you)

I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all (never knew you)

(Never knew you)
