"You Never Knew My Mind" lyrics

"You Never Knew My Mind"

I know you feel the way I change
But you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
One of a kind
And I think some way you'll make it
Though you don't know how to take it
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
One of a kind

There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
You never really knew my mind
You never really knew my mind

My silence holds the secrets find
I answer but don't answer
You did not see me well enough
To recognize the signs
You didn't want to notice
Or know that it was over
I did not see you well enough
To recognize the signs

And there were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Then you saw the changes painfully
And you knew
You never really knew my mind

And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
Sometimes, maybe all the time
You never really knew my mind
I never really knew your mind
