Never Knew You Well Lyrics & Chords By Walter Trout

You told me once you don't believe in heaven
And livin' here on earth it must be hell
You told me all you really need is money
But you got nothing left to sell
You lifted up a bottle and you drank it and you fell
And it occurred to me I never really knew you well
I never knew you well

I know you don't like seeing other people
You spend your time sailing on the sea
That's the only place you feel protected
That's the only place you can find some peace
I know you carry memories, secrets you can never tell
And you always kept your distance, so I never really knew you well
I never knew you well

I remember back when we were children
It was me and you against the world outside
But as you grew I watched you fill with anger
You got overcome with bitterness and pride
I think of all you stole from those who love you
I remember all the times you lied
I wonder what became of the friend I used to know
Back before the love in you had died
I never knew you well
I never really knew you well
