When did I know it was over
When did I hear the record scratch?
Why did I say that I loved you
Just before I turned my back

Last night I had a dream we were together
but I woke up to an empty hollow room
Did I help you build these walls we had between us
Or did it creep up like the blood beneath the bruise?

I never knew who I was
Till I met you
And I never knew what love was
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was, till I hurt you

Stare at the screen to remember
Blue light try to take me back
The photographs say we were happy
I guess I needed more than that

Last night I read the stars were in my favor
That I'd find another romance in my time
But what I needed was to know that I could labor
For a person who deserves a happy life

I never knew who I was
Till I met you
And I never knew what love was
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was, till I hurt you
Be careful what you wish for dear
Is it everything you hoped for now
Did you know what you were in for, no
Can't have one without the other, no
Is that what I discovered
If I could change me for you I would, oh cause

I never knew who I was
Till I met you
And I never knew what love was
till you held me the whole night through
And I never knew what hurt was, till I hurt you
