Knew You Songtext
von Gone West

I met you back when we were young
Saw your heart break and fall in love
Watched you lose when you should′ve won, mm, mm
I knew your insecurities
Told you things that I usually hide
Never thought they'd be weaponized, mm, mm

Now you′re gettin' high by knockin' me down
It′s easy feelin′ big in a small town
Honey, I see who you are when no one's around
And it′s pretty ugly

I was there when it hit the fan
But lookin' back, I understand that I didn′t lose you
'Cause I never knew you
Have you always been a stranger?
Or did something make it change?
If this ain′t the new you
I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all


They should give you a Golden Globe
'Cause you put on one hell of a show
I'll be gone ′fore the credits roll, mm,mm

Now you′re climbin' up by pushin′ me down
It's easy feelin′ big in a small town
Honey, I know how you are when no one's around
It′s pretty ugly

I was there when it hit the fan
But lookin' back, I understand that I didn't lose you (I didn′t lose you)
′Cause I never knew you (I never knew you)
Have you always been a stranger?
Or did something make it change?
If this ain't the new you (if this ain′t the new you)
I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all


Hey, how many aces do you hold?
Act tough, call your bluff like a hustle, 'cause you fold
How many faces do you own?
You think a dollar makes you taller
But listen, child, you ain′t grown
Thought you would be the one to call
Rise and fall, through it all, hold up, wait a minute now
Don't even recognize the truth, you changed into
Someone who I never knew, oh, Lord (oh, Lord)

I was there when it hit the fan
But lookin′ back, I understand that I didn't lose you (I didn't lose you)
′Cause I never knew you (I never knew you)
Have you always been a stranger?
Or does something make it change?
If this ain′t the new you (if this ain't the new you)
I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all

(Never knew you)
(Never knew you)
I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all
(Never knew you)
I never knew you (Never knew you)
I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all
(Never knew you) knew you, knew you, knew you
