[Lyric] Thought I Knew You Live (Matthew Sweet)

[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]

[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]

[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
