I knew you so well

living

 

in the wilderness of your mind

 

I

 

knew so well, where  I've dwelt, so many times

 

so you couldn't hide, what kept you alive

 

I knew you by heart, sometimes a little tough

 

but

 

no more than that

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you so well

 

your thoughts ringin' a bell, now if not with me

 

maybe with somebodyelse

 

 

they'll get to know you as I did

 

I

 

don't know if I can take it, but there it is

 

I

 

must

 

leave

 

 

guess I've come to know you too well

 

started ringin' too many bells

 

the sound a deafening one

 

I

 

couldn't hear you think at all

 

you closed your mind for me, it made a retreat I couldn't foresee

 

never did I hear you think again

 

when it came to that, I knew I had to go away

 

livin' in the wilderness of your mind

 

I

 

knew the time had come, I'd stop climbin' those mountains inside

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you so well

 

your thoughts would ring a bell

 

now if not with me, maybe with somebodeelse

 

 

lookin'

 

for you one more time I realised I had lost you

 

your thoughts were somewhereelse

 

'cause I knew you too well

 

 

I

 

couldn't get in,  the bolt was thrown, a key turned

 

memories were burned in the fire of your mind

 

dissapearin' in the light

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you too  well

 

your thoughts would ring a bell  now if not with me

 

maybe

 

with

 

somebodyelse
