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 That I've ever known It's making me weak Making me strong It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up And find it gone I didn't know love
It's 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 way to spend the night It's complicated when it's right You can make me such a mess Yeah you're perfect
Cause I didn't know love
Chorus I didn't know love Not even close This is more beautiful and frightening That I've ever known It's making me weak Making me strong It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up And find YOU gone
No I didn't know love
Now you're lying in my arms beside me In the past I'd settle for a touch I'd tell myself it was enough I was lying, lying, lying
Cause I didn't know love
I didn't know love Not even close This is more beautiful and frightening That I've ever known It's making me weak Making me strong It's making me afraid I'm gonna wake up And find YOU gone I didn't know love
