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 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 Than I've ever known Its making me weak, making me strong Its making me afraid I'm gonna wake up and find it gone I didn't know love Its 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 Its 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 Its making me weak, making me strong Its making me afraid I'm gonna wake up and find you gone I didn't know love No, I didn't know love And now you're lying in my arms beside me In the past I'd settle for a touch I told myself it was enough I was lying, lying, lying Cause I didn't know love Didn't know love! Not even close This is more beautiful and frightening Than I've ever known Its making me weak, making me strong Its making me afraid I'm gonna 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
