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
