about

An improvisation in one take.

lyrics

I thought I knew you at one time
I know now...
I miss you

Important things are drawn in my mind
And I sit here and I try not to think
Of all the things that I'm blind to

And I cry
And I know that one day I'm gonna regret
One day I'm going to regret
I'll never forget
What has transpired today

You could not possibly pretend to know
The thoughts I've had
The nights I've dreamt
The ones, the years have gone by

Something important
Something to live for
I don't know why I thought
Oh, in times that I've been blind to...
I never thought to

I miss you more than you know

The paint drips off the walls
Drips off the walls and halls and all
I don't know where I am anymore
Though I'm home
On the streets I walk
The streets I walk to get to you
The memory of the place
The place where I never knew...
All the abandoned places
All the new faces
The wise and the poor and the unknown
I never thought to look there before
But there it was, right before my eyes
And I was so surprised
And I don't know
Know why

Oh, and I wish I could tell you
But it's not my place
It's not my place anymore
And it's not my place
And it's not my place
And it's not my face anymore
I look in the mirror
And it's not my face anymore

Who is that whore?

Who is that face?
Who's taken my place?

Paint drips off the walls in front of me
In front of my eyes
I know that I knew
I knew
I knew you
Whether you like to admit (or not) that I knew you

I walked away
Yes, I walked away
Not because I wanted to
Not because you told me to, oh no
Why?

It was something that I never wanted to do.
