Lyrics

[Verse 1] I do what you tell me like it's my idea I came down to find you, pretend that you're here And I never could replace you, it's too dark to try But I look for our memories, and their clothing, and their eyes [Chorus] You didn't know, you didn't know [Verse 2] You're there when I need you, we talk on the phone I know that you've been trying to build us a home Yet I scramble to find one with couches and boys But all I hear's an echo, the sound of your voice [Chorus] You didn't know, you didn't know [Verse 3] You may have more to teach me, but what haven't I heard? Listening is easy, but learning is earned I forgive you, and I thank you, you know all the reasons why I'm sorry and I love you, all we can do is try [Chorus] You didn't know how to raise me Any more than I knew how to grow up Childhood is over, and it wasn't enough [Verse 4] But Nina's in the garden and Rascal's on the roof The charges against you, I know I have no proof So goodbye to the Chelsea, goodbye to the rocket ship There's only room for you and me there And there's so much more to fit [Chorus] You didn't know, you didn't know You didn't know, you didn't know You didn't know, you didn't know
