The Scoop
You Never Knew
By Mimi Herrmann
You always thought there was something a little magic about his smile
You always thought his eyes were full of secret words for you
You knew when he spoke there was something you didn't quite catch
You always felt you were missing something
We all chase down our dreams
We all know love isn't always what it seems
You thought you'd take a chance
On power and glory and wild romance
And now the Furies are sending you mad
You never knew what you had
You never knew what you had
You always wondered why you disagreed so much
You always asked him for proof he really cared
You always felt that if he really loved you there’d be more
You always felt you were lacking something
We all run down our dreams
We all know life isn’t what we’d forseen
You thought you’d take a chance
On power and glory and wild romance
And now your fury is driving you mad
You never knew what you had
You never knew what you had
Why do you think everyone says
That if you really love something you have to let it go?
You always blamed your circumstances for your fall
You trusted something outside to cure what hurts within
You called on gods and angels and demons to defend your honor
You never saw what you were missing
We all kill off our dreams
We all say that nothing’s what it seems
You thought you’d take a chance
On power and glory and wild romance
And while the Furies drive you mad, remember
You never knew what you had
You never knew what you had
