Ike - I THOUGHT YOU KNEW Lyrics

ON THE INSIDE
I KEEP IT TO MYSELF
ON THE OUTSIDE
GOT A POKER FACE FROM HELL
WELL I HAVEN'T CRIED
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME
AND I MUST ADMIT IT SCARES ME
DID I FINALLY LEARN
HOW TO DEAL WITH YOU
OR DID I SHUT DOWN
PERMANENTLY

AND MAYBE IT WAS JUST IN MY HEAD
AND EVERYTHING THAT I LEFT UNSAID
WAS A STRANGE ASSUMPTION
I COULD'VE SWORN WAS TRUE
'CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU KNEW

IF AN ACTION
DOESN'T SCREAM A THOUSAND WORDS
YOUR REACTION
IS TO DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS
AND I DRIVE AND DRIVE
WITH MY SIDE-VIEW EYE
BUT I GUESS IT JUST GOT LAZY
WE WERE SO MUCH CLOSER THAN WE APPEARED
OR MAYBE I WAS CRAZY

BUT I KNOW I'M GONNA LOSE CONTROL
AND I MIGHT BEG YOU TO SAVE MY SOUL
FROM MY OWN REFLECTION
I NEVER COULD SEE THROUGH
'CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
