I Thought I Knew - Alela Diane

It was the last day of the year

It was coming down in sheets

I was sitting on the street

Soaked through from the sleet, I’d had too much to drink

I called you up

And drew you in

I thought I knew

But I was wrong

You came to my town

I showed you around

But everywhere we went reminded me of him

I’d been lying to myself again

I called you up

And drew you in

I thought I knew

But I was wrong

And I took to the sky

With that knowing sinking feeling

I’d only just arrived

But I foresaw the end

So I lay on the couch

Helpless to my blunder

You turned off the lights upon me

And went upstairs alone

You knew that I was gone

You knew I was gone
