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 melted

it got my hand it brushed my cheek

it moved right in

it cut 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

it's making me weak

making me strong

it's making me afraid i'm going to 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 where you spend the night

it's 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

it's making me weak

making me strong

it's making me afraid i'm going to wake up

and find you gone

i didn't know love

no

i didn't know love

now you're lying in my arms

beside me

in the past

i'd settled for a touch

i'd tell myself it was enough

i was lying

lying

lying

coz i didn't know love

mmm. i didn't know love

not even close

this is more beautiful and frightening than i've ever known

it's making me weak

making me strong

it's making me afraid i'm going to 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
