Thought I Knew You Lyrics – Matthew Sweet

Thought I Knew You Lyrics by Matthew Sweet

Oh, well, thank you
We’re gonna now get in a little bit of the spirit of the evening
And play an acoustic number for you
A song of bitterness and betrayal called “thought i knew you”

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
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

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
