Lyrics
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
YOU BOUGHT ME MY FIRST GUITAR AND MY LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME
YOU TOOK CARE OF MOM WHEN SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER YOUR NAME
I KNOW YOU LOVED US, YOU SHOWED IT IN A THOUSAND WAYS
BUT LATELY I'VE REALIZED THERE'S THINGS I NEVER DID SAY
CHORUS:
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
HOW I FELT INSIDE
THOUGH I TRIED TO HIDE
IN EACH SONG THAT I'D WRITE FOR YOU
I HOPED YOU COULD SEE
WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
I WISH I HAD SAID BACK THEN HOW I LOOKED UP TO YOU
I'VE HAD MORE THAN A FEW REGRETS FOR ALL THAT I PUT YOU THROUGH
TO WALK IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS WAS SOMETHING I JUST COULDN'T DO
WE JUST SAW THE WORLD, FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW
CHORUS:
but I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
HOW I FELT INSIDE
THOUGH I TRIED TO HIDE
IN EACH SONG THAT I'D WRITE FOR YOU
I HOPED YOU COULD SEE
WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME
BRIDGE:
THROUGH THICK AND THIN
YOU SAW ME THROUGH
I AM THE MAN I AM
BECAUSE OF YOU
CHORUS:
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
HOW I FELT INSIDE
THOUGH I TRIED TO HIDE
IN EACH SONG THAT I'D WRITE FOR YOU
I HOPED YOU COULD SEE
WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
I LOVED YOU
