You Knew Me Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

I thought I knew you 

But I was in for a suprise 

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
