We All Thought We Knew You Lyrics & Chords By Birth Control

When I heard that you had gone I couldn't move or talk, or think for grief
That you should have left us in such a way just wasn't you
Gave up the ghost of life without a word and didn't tell anyone
Did you never even have just one close friend you could talk to

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you now
That you have gone away, away

You played your rock'n'roll for so long in your own special way
And each and every song you wrote came straight from your heart
You always dreamed of living somewhere in the californian sun
Spent your short life daydreaming of a better reality

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away, away

Now that we do know you, we just want to say goodbye to you
Or maybe au revoir until some day some future far away
We all hope, you're content, at peace now
With your new point of view somewhere out in space
If you found what you were looking for, please, let us know

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away

We all thought we knew you but we were so wrong
We never did know you but we do know you
Now that you have gone away
