If You Think You Knew Me Once Lyrics

If you think you knew me once
forget what you have known
What you're sure
you thought we were
was surely overblown
If you think you knew me once
how do you still not know
that when i'm told
to grab ahold
I surely let it go

If you think you saw me once
among abandoned cars
beneath broked stairs
or anywhere
that people like me are
If you think you saw me once
but now I'm just a blur
(it's) 'cause you dealt in what
was thinned and cut
then claimed that it was pure
If you thought you'd hold me once
my head upon a tray
while my body yields
beneath your fields
and silently decays
If you thought you'd hold me once
all that i can say
is love like yours
it rains and pours
but always runs away
If you thought you heard me once
so clear, but yet so weak
you always said
i sang instead
of learning how to speak
If you swear you heard me where
a newborn ghost would haunt
all you really hear
is echoes, dear
but that's all you really want
all you really hear
is echoes, dear
and that's all you really want
