I Knew That - The Devlins

They said the world was a different place

Through the eyes of another face

They said the change would

Be slow in coming 'round

They said the sky would be burning bright

And all the angels would begin to fight

Over the reason why there’s no seasons

And there’ll be no day and night

But I knew that

I heard the words you were telling me

I heard your lies, your stupidity

But all these things you say to me

You just don’t understand

You see I knew that

And if you look maybe you might find

The words came from another mind

And if you think that you’ve got it right

Well, maybe you should stand and fight

They tried to talk but it was no good

They said you’d leave and I knew you would

I knew the time and I knew the place

But through the eyes of another face

I saw the words that were in your head

I heard the thoughts that remained unsaid

I tried to talk but it’s much too late

'Cause I seem mixed up and I can’t relate

But I knew that

What do you say when love is gone?

I said I knew that
