I once knew all the answers, I stood on certain ground   A picture of true happiness, confidence so effortless   No brighter could be found      I never asked the questions that trouble me today   I knew all there was to know, love worn lightly, put on show   A conquest on display      And who would have thought his love could be so good   Not me, not me   My secrets and my passions understood   Not me, not me      Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away   To be with someone till his dying day   Not me, not me      I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they share   An empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess   I need some comfort there      And who would have thought his love could be so good   Not me, not me   My secrets and my passions understood   Not me, not me      Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away   To be with someone till his dying day   Not me, not me      But not me, oh not me
