matthew sweet - thought i knew you (live) lyrics

[interlude]
oh, well, thank you
we’re gonna now get in a little bit of the spirit of the evening
and play an acoustic number for you
a song of bitterness and betrayal called “thought i knew you”

[verse 1]
i thought i knew you
i was in for a surprise
i let my love flow
from my heart into your eyes
and then i found out
that there was nothing i could know
or guess about you
you’d go as far as you could go

[chorus]
and it took me years to figure out
that there was nothing i could give to you
years to figure out
that there was nothing you would take from me
and how can i describe the way
you slowly put my hope away?
and all of the time
i thought i knew you
[verse 2]
i thought i knew you
but i wasn’t even close
i had my heart set
on little more than a ghost
and i thought i’d show you
there was no way we could lose
i thought i’d force you
to realize and choose

[chorus]
and it took me years to figure out
that there was nothing i could show to you
years to figure out
that you were never really going to choose
and how can i describe the way
i slowly lost my love for you
and all of the time
i thought i knew you

[instrumental break]
