Thought I Knew You

Matthew Sweet

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 took my hope away

And all of the time

I thought I knew you
