I Know So Little (So Well)

I was concerned and I knew I stood firm

So much that I learned, you were green

Needed self esteem but I was too firm

Then ego crept right up on me

And misdirected me

From the real wealth I wanted to possess

Now I'm walking 2 steps back

A little less attack

Please let me confess

All I know is I know so little

And that I know I know so well

But I think if I could walk that middle

I'd wipe the slate

And try to start all over again

Infatuation, renunciation, just intoxication

Austerity without humility, one source of ruination

And yes, there grew sincerity but what I didn't see

Was something growing right by it's side

Standing with a righteous twist

Getting people pissed

I was riddled with pride

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I came on too strong

And I know how I treated you

But I couldn't see, so forgive me

For thinking I was better than you

I need a mirror to see what you can see

We better get mirrors or we'll never know our real identity

And it hurts so much to look right at yourself

Yeah, it hurts the most, please let me confess
