Story Behind the Song
Did you ever hear the saying "If I knew then what I know now..." ??? Well, try to imagine that -- BACKWARDS! This song is about falling out of love and wishing you could still believe the things you used to.
Lyrics
WHAT I KNEW
(C.2000 Zonna/bmi)
We used to be so close
I could read your mind almost,
I used to know your heart inside and out.
Oh I used to be so sure,
but now I just dont know anymore --
Lately, baby, I have had my doubts.
Everythings changing so fast it seems
that you have to choose between me and your dreams...
** There was a time back when
I knew our love would never end,
Oh I wish I knew now what I knew then...
It started out so fine
back when your heart was mine,
Our love was a field of flowers growing tall.
But slowly the colors faded
a little more every day
until what weve grown isnt what weve planted at all.
And it hurts to find out just what the truth is --
You wanted more than I could ever give...
**
Funny, the word good-bye,
It starts somewhere in your eyes,
and it works its way so slowly to your tongue.
Till finally the sound is heard,
a deafening little word
with the power to turn old a heart once young.
Now I can see shadows pushing you on,
moving you closer and closer to gone...
