You knew me, and you’ve seen me When I was begging the world for answers You’ve seen me, and you’ve been me Avoiding freeloading chancers And you wanted me to grow Even though you didn’t know What I would grow into But I knew you But I knew you And you took me, and you shook me Until the whole damn world was shaking And you saw me, you adored me You gave me life, no exaggeration In fact we held each other up In such high regard That we made some other versions too When I knew you When I knew you And you knew me, yes you knew me No matter how much you care to deny it And you knew me, gave birth to me And stayed by my side in the riots Well I know these days You say you can’t look at my face But I know that it wasn’t true When I knew you When I knew you It’s a place where I can go there, tell my secrets to In my room In my room In my room
