Thought I Knew You
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 thought I knew you
I was in for a surprise
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
And years to figure out
That there was nothing you would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly took my hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
