There's something that I feel a need to get off of my chest
For some time now thinking of you only gets me depressed
I suppose I could give it a rest
Move along leave the hurt unexpressed
But either way I'm sure you enjoyed your little conquest
There are days now when I look down in my hall of shame
And I still find it hard to admit that I'm partly to blame
I'm not sure that I care to explain
Why these thoughts linger on and remain
They will fade, we'll forget what we said and let time heal the pain
I thought I knew someone
I thought I knew someone
I thought I knew someone
Someday soon, a matter of time, until we pass on the street
And on that day, I'll feel a chill as my heart skips a beat
You may pause - slow our steps - eyes meet
To converse now would be indiscreet
Force a smile - tell you everything's fine as I make my retreat
I thought I knew someone
I thought I knew someone
I thought I knew someone
