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
