Walter Trout - Never Knew You Well lyrics

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
