lyrics

I knew you
I knew you
I thought that I knew you

I thought I knew the truth
When I met you
I thought that I knew peace
Guess I knew a ruse
I thought I knew the rules
I am such a fool

Pride killing the vibe
You’re not your true self
Rather suffer alone
Than ask for some help
Falsely I assume
I’m under a spell

I knew you
I knew you
I thought that I knew you
I thought that I knew you

It’s common sense to analyze your inner circle
But you’re in a box, you ain’t in a circle
Home is where the heart is, you’re facing an eviction
You’re used to sleeping with strangers
And nothing’s stranger than fiction
You’re causing all of this friction
Life is a mother, you usually rub her
The wrong way, I mean you used to love her
You’re not learning
That some respect is not worth earning
I see your fire is bright, but it’s not burning
And like a voice dial, you’re really out of touch
Self-esteem as high as your funds
That’s not saying much
Just 'cause you knew better
Doesn’t mean you choose better
Assumed if you knew the cost
You’d pay your dues better
Doors closing, there’s no room for building
High hopes that’s not used to a ceiling
I forgive you for the times that you’ve given up
And the high standards you set, but didn’t live ‘em up
You say you love me, but only when it’s convenient
I say love you, but you don’t think that I mean it
So many secrets
Was I ignorant or was I naïve?
You know I tend to hear what I already believe
I’m asking that you explain who you be
But that’s like describing a color you’ve never seen
All your life you were taught you were only human
That’s nothing more than the sum of his own excuses
I say I know who you are, I just wish it were true
Old ways, new days like this but who knew
I would know by now there wasn’t a new you
And you is just me who I thought I knew
