Didn't Know Songtext
von Pup Xander

I saw him as a victim tryin′
Worthy of my time and cryin'
Out for me and I was one myself
Anxious, always on the shelf

Both maskin′ pain all of the time
Lookin' to make some sense of it all
Thought maybe yeah I could save him
But in doing so save myself as well

Was it wrong of me? Well maybe
But my intentions they were good
Make something useful out of bad
Went on a rescue mission into Hell


I didn't know it shouldn′t be
Didn′t know
He wasn't for me
Didn′t know
What he could do
Didn't know he′d lie to me
Didn't know he′d ever betray me
Didn't know
He'd thank me for nothin′ at all
Didn′t know I'd lose myself inside him

See, sittin′ all cloaked in tragedy
He'd a lager can for company
I was flattered by his attention
Gotta mention perplexin′ curiosity

Said his partner was a monster
Jumped ship from him to me
I didn't have a crystal ball to hand
To see how he′d be a monster to me

Those big sad eyes they pulled me in
I was a sucker full of kindness, yes
And self-interest as well, oh I'll admit
I thought helpin' him I′d be helpin′ me

Cos we both were lost boys
(Peter Pans)
For all our differences inside
(Hello Jeckyll, Hello Hyde)
Both just lookin' to survive


I didn′t know it shouldn't be
Didn′t know
He wasn't for me
Didn′t know
What he could do
Didn't know he'd lie to me
Didn′t know he′d ever betray me
Didn't know
He′d thank me for nothin' at all
Didn′t know I'd lose myself inside him

He′s gone now, trauma left behind
For all I know he's dead or soon to be
But I hope not cos oh what stories
That boy could spin, deceptions yeah
Deceptions with no heroes in them

Sometimes funny
Sometimes cruel
Sometimes consequential
He had no heroes in his life
No heroes meant he'd run and hide
Not knowin′ heroes when he saw em

I didn′t know
It shouldn't be
Didn′t know
He wasn't for me
Didn′t know what he could do
Didn't know he′d lie to me
Didn't know he'd ever betray me
Didn′t know
He′d thank me for nothin' at all
Didn′t know I'd lose myself inside him

Didn′t know I'd lose

Didn′t know I'd lose

Didn't know

Didn′t know a thing at all
