Didn't Know Love

I thought I had it long ago
I held on, but It let go
It kissed me on a subway train
And I melted...

It got my hand it brushed my cheek
It moved right in, it cut me deep
You know it even had a name
I really felt it.

I didn't know love
Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever known
It's making me weak
Making me strong
It's making me 'fraid I'm gonna wake up
And find it gone
I didn't know love.

It's a blessing, it's a curse
You know you've found it when it hurts
It can drive you off a cliff
But it's worth it.

Careful where you spend the night
It's complicated when it's right
You can make me such a mess
Yeah you're perfect!

But I didn't know love
Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever know
It's making me weak
Making me strong
It's making me 'fraid I'm gonna wake up
And find it gone
I didn't know love
I didn't know love.

Now you're lying in my arms, beside me
In the past I'd settled for a touch
I'd tell myself it was enough
I was lying, lying, lying

Coz I didn't know love
Mmm...

I didn't know love
Not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever known
It's making me weak
Making me strong
It's making me 'fraid I'm gonna wake up and find you gone.

I didn't know love
I didn't know love
I didn't know love
I didn't know love.
