Knew You Lyrics

by 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
I knew your insecurities
Told you things that I usually hide
Never thought they'd be weaponized
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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e128520-gone_west~knew_you_lyrics.html ]
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 does 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
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 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

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
Can't even recognize the truth, you change into
Someone who I never knew, 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)
(Never knew you)
