Lyrics
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU
By Jim Bennett and Jeff Pardo 10/4/2010
V1
I didn't think twice when you came home late
You were out with your friends, yeah that's what you said to me
And maybe I should have known
Oh that startled look on your pretty face
When I walked into, the living room
And you tried to hide the phone,
If it were anybody else
I wouldn't be surprised
CHORUS
I thought I knew you so much better than this
But, how many times were sugar coated lies hidden inside your kiss
Was my voice in your head, when you were laying down in another's bed
Was there nothing to lose
And I thought I knew you
V2
How can you say it's gonna be alright
With your eyes so cold, everything in control
And just watch while I come undone
How long has your heart been somewhere else
Baby, tell me now did you plan this out
Were you always gonna run
CHORUS
I thought I knew you so much better than this
But, how many times were sugar coated lies hidden inside your kiss
Was my voice in your head, when you were laying down in another's bed
Was there nothing to lose
BRIDGE
Some days I swear I'm living someone else's life
Picking up these pieces that you left behind
Learning how to start again and say goodbye
Is never what I had in mind
CHORUS
I thought I knew you so much better than this
But, how many times were sugar coated lies hidden inside your kiss
Was my voice in your head, when you were laying down in another's bed
Was there nothing to lose
And I thought I knew you
