Down from where I stand
You’re a thing of beauty
Everything I pictured right in front of me
And I will admit it’s overwhelming me

If only your future
Didn’t fall from my past
If only your heartache
Didn’t rest on my back

But I didn’t know you yet, I didn’t know
I didn’t know you yet, I didn’t know

You’re a part of me
Something inside of me
Will always be missing out
But there’s a part of me
Part of me I’ve only just begun to figure out

If only we were honest
It’d take a load off my back
If only we could go there
I would rewrite your past

But I didn’t know you yet, I didn’t know
I didn’t know you yet, I didn’t know
I didn’t know you yet, I didn’t know
No, I didn’t know you yet
I didn’t know

I didn’t know
I didn’t know

In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet (I didn't know)
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet (I didn't know)
In my defense, In my defense
I hadn’t met you yet, met you yet (I didn't know)

I didn’t know
I didn’t know
I didn’t know
