Matthew Sweet - Thought I Knew You lyrics

rate me

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 or 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

And 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

When all of the time

I thought I knew you.
