"I Thought You Knew" lyrics

I'll follow you like a bridge to the end of the world
I take you with me everywhere I go
But you ran from love like a bullet from a gun
Lead powder burned my heart deep as this desert sun
You never told me it was over
You never told me anything at all

Now I'm out on the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
Yeah, I thought you knew

Heard it from the motel man, you were here two nights ago
That means I'm closing in on my last chance to let you know
That I'm sorry girl for the things I guess I didn't say
But I'll keep searching for you 'til my dying day

Now I'm out in the road and I'm asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew

I thought you knew I meant forever
Even though I never said the things I needed to
But I'm out on the road and asking myself why

I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
But I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
Girl, I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew

As the sunlight fades and the sky turns black from blue
I know one of those sets of taillights just might be you
