Lyrics
I Thought I Knew
ISRC # CA N35 20 00002
Music & Lyrics:
(c) Howie Moscovitch & Jennifer Noble, 2004
I thought I knew
He'd had a hard life
Grown up alone and aloof
Whatever pain I could take from him
You know I was happy to do
I thought I knew - Love was the healer
I thought I knew - It would all turn out right
So many misconceptions
So many ways to fall
How did I miss the signals
I thought I knew them all
This man whose dreams I built on
This man I knew so well
I thought I knew him deeply
I thought I knew myself
I thought I knew
I could light up his dark days
I'd be his rock, tried and true
He took my strength - he found my weakness
He thought that he'd take that too
I thought I knew - If I gave a bit more
I thought I knew - Love would make it alright
So many misconceptions
So many ways to fall
How did I miss the signals
I thought I knew them all
This man whose dreams I built on
This man I knew so well
I thought I knew him deeply
I thought I knew myself
You never know until you get there
You never can, never can, never can tell
Who'd have thought
I'd be picking up pieces of myself
So many misconceptions
So many ways to fall
How did I miss the signals
I thought I knew them all
This man whose dreams I built on
This man I knew so well
I thought I knew him deeply
I thought I knew myself
