I never knew Lyrics

Wish I learned the night I turned 16

The things I yearned would crash and burn the more I lived in reality

At 22, I learned the truth

All the pretty things fade away with youth

And who I once knew, I never even knew

Rose-colored glasses hid me from feeling blue

(But I never knew..no I never knew)

Paper Towns held Paper people too

(I never knew, no I never knew)

Hearts don't beat like mine, oh

Brains don't think like mine, oh

Should have read between the lines, oh

But I never knew

I think I grow the more I let go of resentment

The pain subsides when I stop holding in all this tension

And at 25, I'm feeling like maybe less is more to feel alive

And who I once knew, they were just passing through

Rose-colored glasses hid me from feeling blue

(But I never knew..no I never knew)

Paper Towns held Paper people too

(I never knew, no I never knew)

Hearts don't beat like mine, oh

Brains don't think like mine, oh

Should have read between the lines, oh

But I never knew

Everytime I broke down, I wrote it all down

(But I never knew..no I never knew)

All the stupid shit, the things I did

(I never knew, no I never knew)

It would all lead to this

(it would all lead to this)

It would all lead to this

Rose-colored glasses hid me from feeling blue

(But I never knew..no I never knew)

Paper Towns held Paper people too

(I never knew, no I never knew)

Hearts don't beat like mine, oh

Brains don't think like mine, oh

Should have read between the lines

But I never knew, never knew

I never knew

Hearts don't beat like mine
