Didn't Know Love

I thought I had it long ago

I held on but it let go

It kissed me on a subway train

And I meant it

It got my hand, it brushed my cheek

It moved right in, It got me deep

You know, it even had a name, I really felt it

I didn't know love! Not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening

Than I've ever known

Its making me weak, making me strong

Its making me afraid I'm gonna wake up and find it gone

I didn't know love

Its a blessing, it's a curse

You know you've found it when it hurts

It can drive you off a cliff, but it's worth it

Careful where you spend the night

Its complicated when it's right

You can make me such a mess

Yeah, you're perfect

But I didn't know love! Not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening

Than I've ever known

Its making me weak, making me strong

Its making me afraid I'm gonna wake up and find you gone

I didn't know love

No, I didn't know love

And now you're lying in my arms beside me

In the past I'd settle for a touch

I told myself it was enough

I was lying, lying, lying

Cause I didn't know love

Didn't know love! Not even close

This is more beautiful and frightening

Than I've ever known

Its making me weak, making me strong

Its making me afraid I'm gonna wake up and find you gone

I didn't know love

No, I didn't know love

I didn't know love

I didn't know love
