You knew me, and youâve seen me
When I was begging the world for answers
Youâve seen me, and youâve been me
Avoiding freeloading chancers
And you wanted me to grow
Even though you didnât know
What I would grow into
But I knew you
But I knew you
And you took me, and you shook me
Until the whole damn world was shaking
And you saw me, you adored me
You gave me life, no exaggeration
In fact we held each other up
In such high regard
That we made some other versions too
When I knew you
When I knew you
And you knew me, yes you knew me
No matter how much you care to deny it
And you knew me, gave birth to me
And stayed by my side in the riots
Well I know these days
You say you canât look at my face
But I know that it wasnât true
When I knew you
When I knew you
Itâs a place where I can go there, tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room
In my room
