Only When I Had You
(song lyrics. maybe this marks the end of my writer's block. i sure do hope so)
i guess this is the end
of everything that we once knew
and now we're moving on
except i'm not moving anywhere
i'm stuck right here to wait for you
to turn around and laugh again
and tell me that you knew
you knew i'd be okay
you knew i had the strength to wake up everyday
especially when i had you
you knew i'd stand up strong
you knew i had the strength to make it on my own
but you never knew..
i guess this is the end
of my dreamless nights and wakeful eyes
my nightmares come right back
and you still walk away
i lay right here and die today
because you. turned. away...
and you thought..
you thought i'd be okay
you thought i had the strength to wake up everyday
but only when i had you
you thought i'd stand up strong
you thought i had the strength to make it on my own
but only if i had you...

I Thought She Knew
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Whoa I'll never understand it
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
My world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Whoa I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
I thought she knew
Oooooooo
Oh I thought that she knew
Yeah ooooooo

I Thought Id Seen Everything
(r.j. mutt lange/huey lewis)
(track 7 - time 3:58)
Here I am a single guy
Ive seen a lot in this crazy life
There you are, what can I say
I guess you took my breath away
Something in your eyes took me by surprise
cause when I looked at you something you do
Is telling me more than I ever knew, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything baby I thought I knew
Now here I am alone with you
What am I supposed to do
Should I stay or should I go
Something tells me I should know
Its something in your touch that makes me feel so much
You took me by surprise I realize
And now I cant believe my eyes, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
Ive been around the world, seen a lot of girls
In and out of love til I had enough
I thought I had everything, til I had you, oh baby
Baby let your lovin take me all the way
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
I thought Id seen everything, oh baby

The Greatest Man I Never Knew
The greatest man I never knew
Lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello
But never touched at all
He was in his paper
I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
The greatest man I never knew
Came home late every night
He never had too much to say
Too much was on his mind
I never really knew him
And now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years
And the memories to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard
I guess Ill never hear
The man I thought could never die
Sbeen dead almost a year
He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew

Forget Everything You Thought You Knew
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Forget it all.
Wipe it clean.
An absent mind till the end of time.
No more pain, let it fade.
Today is not yesterday.
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Forget it all.
Memories erased.
Scars healed.
Such a sad face.
Smile and turn it all around.
Such a sweet sound.
The heart racing.
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Forget it all.
Tear down that wall.
Make it crumble.
Make it fall.
Be careful not to stumble.
When all is lost something new can always be found.
Don't be scared for you will not drowned.
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Forget it all.
Start moving forward.
Faster and faster.
Marching upon the sands of time.
Your life defined by your every movement,
your words spoken.
So symbolic.
Meanings behind meanings.
Metaphorically speaking.
This is the way, please enjoy your stay.
Forget everything you thought you knew.
Forget all.
Passing by with a disguise.
A change for the better.
Here my unwritten letter.
Crumbled and flying into the sky.
Don't ask why Just Forget everything you thought you knew.

I Thought You Knew
I thought You knew, guess I assumed to much
I don't know how, but now wheir so far out of touch
And I never planned, to so miss understand
But what you needed, you never asked me to give
And I swear as I live...
I thought you knew my heart was yours
And that we were so together
That we, would always be
I don't believe, you leavin' me is the answer
I'm not askin' you to let me rush back in and fail again
I'm askin' for one chance, not to assume
So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
So far wheir still so far
From where we know we should be
I'm searching for words
And you haven't heard
I thought you knew my heart was yours
And that we were so together
That we, would always be
I don't believe, you leavin' me is the answer
I'm not askin' you to let me rush back in and fail again
I'm askin' for one chance, not to assume
So I can say and do all the things I thought you knew
I thought you knew
Ohhhhhh god I thought you knew!

Sunday Morning
Sappy pathetic little me
That was the girl I used to be
You had me on my knees
I'd trade you places any day
I'd never thought you could be that way
But you looked like me on Sunday
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well... so well
You're trying my shoes on for a change
They look so good but fit so strange
Out of fashion so I can complain
You came in with the breeze
On Sunday Morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you well... so well
I know who I am

Mother knew well, I thought once.
Father knew well, I thought once.
Teachers knew well, I thought then.
None knew well, I thought at the end.

The Mentor
The mentor, from what I can remember,
Was a man who aided me always,
He taught me to think,
To imagine everything I knew.
He taught me to be inspired,
And to work with every clue.
He helped me set goals,
In which he knew was best,
And, he always loved me,
Even when he put me to the test.
He guided me always,
Always with a lending hand,
He knew what was good,
That he could help me stand.
My mentor was a good man,
He always knew what was right,
He never gave up on me,
For he knew that I was bright.
He guided me to today,
To where I am right now,
He knew that I could be anything,
And he didn't have to explain how.
He gave me courage and strength
And confidence,
He knew that with every pace,
That fidelity was significance.
He advised me in my actions,
So that I could grow up strong,
He helped me with everything,
So I could move along.
I am grateful he was there for me,
No matter what the cost,
I am glad he was loving, also,
So that I was not lost.

Never Knew Lonely
No other lover ever really cared
When Ive reached out for you youve always been there
Now Im so far away and baby Im scared
I never knew lonely til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now Im not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you
I cant make up for the times Ive been gone
But Ill prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl its where I belong
I never knew lonely til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely til you

Ma Fwend
i thought i was alone
i thought i was the only one in pain
everyday i go through changes that break me down
i stare and think there is no hope
i look at the stars above and think how my goals are unreachable
but then
i look in your eyes and i see hope
i hold your hand amd i feel strength, the strength to carry on
you give me a foundation to stand on and the power to make me strong
you carry me when i am crippled
i am not afraid to call you ma fwend.

I know better
I know better
Than to treat you this way
I know better
Than to let the sins of yesterday
Stab me and tell me it's time to go
I know better
Than to spill the beans
I know better
That you don't know what I mean.
No longer will words be lost in translation
Nor hidden for future revelation
Nor minced in parable
Or written in gold above gold
I know better
Than to miss you
I know better
Than to question you
That you're still here
That you can bare
Whatever color your hair
I know better
Than to tell the future
I know better
Than to be sure
That you're still here
That you can bare
Whatever color your hair
I know better
What I did not know when it counted
I know better
That what everything I did amounted
To nothing when it
Could've been every bit
Worth it
God Damnit
I thought I knew better
When I wanted to Quit
I though I knew better
When I thought this was it
Not that I'd be like a rolling stone
All alone
Changing my telephone
Number of tallys on a stone
I thought I knew better
Greeting again
I thought I knew better
Remembering when
There was more than evil
More than upheaval
More than black
In my heart
I thought I knew better
As I got on the train track
I though I knew better
I'd never look back
That Midwest Town would miss me
I'd be, I was a celebrity
Everything would be Free
I was next to deity
I thought I knew better
Than to fall in love
I thought I knew better
Than to give it the shove
When it was a rough December
Night, of what I remember
The fire of the day reduces to embers
In fallacy
Finally
An excuse for me
To leave
I thought I knew better
Than to plan for the future
I thought I knew better
My past, my concern, for her
Holding back tear is my fate
Everything I am I hate
Only petty work to concetrate
On love and loss, I am a graduate
Ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
You say youre gonna burn before you mellow
I will be the one to burn you
Whyd you have to go and pick me?
When you that we were different, completely
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
Im another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Your wildness scares me
So does your freedom
You say you cant stand the restrictions
I find myself trying to change you
If you were meant to be my lover I wouldnt have to
And I feel so mean, I feel in between
cause Im about to give you away
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend (for someone else to take)
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend (am I making a mistake? )
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them (all the time that we
Spent) I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girl, friend
Im another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Im another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Im about to give you away for someone else to take
Im about to give you away for someone else to take
We keep repeating mistakes for souvenirs
And weve been in between the days for years
And I know that when I see you Im going to die
I know Im going to want you and you know why
Its going to kill me to see you with the next girl
cause Im the most gorgeously jealous kind of ex-girl
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girlfriend
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
I kinda always knew Id end up your ex-girl friend
Im another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed
Im another ex-girlfriend on your list
But I should have thought of that before we kissed

I Showed Her
She told me I should straighten up my ways
Or she'd be walkin' out
I guess I was just too blind to see
Or maybe just too proud
So I never thought twice
When she loaded up her things and drove away
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I knew she'd be back
Took off my work clothes
And left them right there on the floor
'Cause I knew she'd pick 'em up
When she got home like a hundred times before
And just to make it easier for her
I left the light on on the porch
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I knew she'd be back
I guess I showed her
How much she had to lose
Showed her, who was really who
I know she's hurtin' now
Looks like I showed her
I must have seen the movie of the month
A dozen times or more
I watched my favorite team play ball
But I never heard a score
'Cause the whole time I was listening
For the moment when she'd walk through the door
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I know she'll be back
I guess I showed her
How much she had to lose
Showed her, who was really who
I know she's hurtin' now
Looks like I showed her
If I could I show her how much she had to lose
I'd show her I've been hurtin' too
If I could hold her now
I'd really show her...

Then I Met You
Then I met you
Thought that Id be happy
Going to be so happy
Living life alone and never sharing anything
Thought that I was finished
Thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole instead of being half of something
Thought that I was growing
Growing older, wiser
Understanding why this world held nothing for my spirit
Thought that I was destined
Destined to be nothing
Destined to be nothing in this world and then I met you.
I met you
Thought that God had failed me
Thought my prayers were useless
Thought that he would never give the chance for me to praise him
Thought the book was written
Thought the game had ended
Thought the song was sung and I could never sing another
Thought my faith was misplaced
Thought my back was broken
Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry
Thought I knew this city
Thought I knew all about it
And then one night I went to morningside and you were waiting
I met you

No One Knew
Don't be afraid he said
When he took his hand
Slowly drove him mad when
He filled his head with sand
No one knew
Not even mother dear
She just cleaned her shelves
Her mind was struck with fear
Several years went by but
Nothing changed at all
Once I thought I heard the boy cry
Thought he took a fall but no
No one knew
What went on
Until it was too late
He shot him
No one knew
Anything about you
No one knew
Anything
And in the end
Everything seemed lost
He could not defend
Oh

I Never Really Knew You
Chorus:
Well I never really knew you til you said goodbye
You said its finally over, heres the reasons why
You said youve heard enough of all those little lies
I never really knew you til you said goodbye
I thought I made you happy but youve proved me wrong
I thought I was the one that really turned you on
When I came home tonight all my things were gone
I guess gettin over me didnt take you long
(repeat chorus twice)
Well, you said youd heard enough of all those little lies
I never really knew you til you said goodbye
No I never really knew you til you said goodbye

If you knew
If you knew how much I love you!
If you knew how much I need you!
If you knew how dear you are to me!
If you knew how much I miss you!
If you knew how many times I think of you!
If you knew how painful it is to live without you!
If you knew when I feel hell lot of jealous for you!
If you knew why so many words for you!
If you knew why so many music for you!
If you knew how much I wish your best!

Gone Long Gone
I thought for the rest of my life
Youd see me through it
Guess all along I knew it
Nothing mattered everything was all right
When you saw to it
Before I knew it you were gone long gone
You said you would always be there
Well I believed you
I was a fool to need you
Gave my love then I gave you my heart
And then you flew it
Before I knew it
You were gone long gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
I thought for the rest of my life
Youd see me through it
Yes all along I knew it
Didnt matter and it didnt seem right
And then you flew it
Before I knew it you were gone long gone.
You were gone long gone

I know who I am, but who are you?
Youre not looking like you used to
Youre on the other side of the mirror
So nothings looking quite as clear
Thank you for turning on the lights
Thank you, now youre the parasite
I didnt think you had it in you
And now youre looking like I used to!
You came in with the breeze
On sunday morning
You sure have changed since yesterday
Without any warning
And you want me badly
You cannot have me

But Ive got a new view
I thought I knew you well...oh well
