I met you back when we were young Saw your heart break and fall in love Watched you lose when you should've won I knew your insecurities Told you things that I usually hide Never thought they'd be weaponized Now you're gettin' high by knockin' me down It's easy feelin' big in a small town Honey, I see who you are when no one's around And it's pretty ugly I was there when it hit the fan But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you 'Cause I never knew you Have you always been a stranger? Or does something make it change? If this ain't the new you I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all They should give you a Golden Globe 'Cause you put on one hell of a show I'll be gone 'fore the credits roll Now you're climbin' up by pushin' me down It's easy feelin' big in a small town Honey, I know how you are when no one's around It's pretty ugly I was there when it hit the fan But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you (I didn't lose you) 'Cause I never knew you (I never knew you) Have you always been a stranger? Or does something make it change? If this ain't the new you (If this ain't the new you) I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all Hey, how many aces do you hold? Act tough, call your bluff like a hustle, 'cause you fold How many faces do you own? You think a dollar makes you taller But listen, child, you ain't grown Thought you would be the one to call Rise and fall, through it all, hold up, wait a minute now Can't even recognize the truth, you change into Someone who I never knew, oh, Lord I was there when it hit the fan But lookin' back I understand that I didn't lose you (I didn't lose you) 'Cause I never knew you (I never knew you) Have you always been a stranger? Or does something make it change? If this ain't the new you (If this ain't the new you) I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all (Never knew you) (Never knew you) I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all (Never knew you) I never knew you (Never knew you) I never knew you, knew you, knew you at all (Never knew you) (Never knew you)
