Songtext von I Knew You

I knew you before you knew Who you wanted to be Now I see the new you She's a perfect stranger to me Loves unkind, for I find If only saw, the best of you But my mind, not so blind Showed my heart the rest of you Scheming lies and alibis That butter wouldn't melt disguise With happy ever after eyes That made a fool of me I knew you before you knew Who you wanted to be Now I see the new you She's a perfect stranger to me She's a perfect stranger to me Love is cruel It makes a fool Of one who thought we had it all All bridges burned, the lesson learned You never really loved at all Now you're gone, I'm on my own Don't come around, don't even phone Please leave a happy man alone And we can both be free I knew you before you knew Who you wanted to be Now I see the new you She's a perfect stranger to me
