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