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   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   Years to figure out that there was nothing you would take from me   And how can I describe the way you slowly put my hope away   And all of the time   I thought I knew you      I thought I knew you   But I wasn't even close   I had my heart set   On little more than a ghost   And I thought I'd show you   There was no way we could lose   I thought I'd force you   To realize and choose      And it took me years to figure out   That there was nothing I could show to you   Years to figure out that you were never really going to choose   And how can I describe the way I slowly lost my love for you   And all of the time   I thought I knew you      And it took me years to figure out   That there was nothing I could show to you   Years to figure out that you were never really going to choose   And how can I describe the way I slowly lost my love for you   And all of the time   I thought I knew you
