Thought I Was In Love
Discovering Love's Illusion
Lyrics
I changed the way that I walk
I made changes to my walk.
I changed my clothes and my hair
I altered my clothing and hairstyle.
I told my old friends I, I had to be somewhere
I informed my old friends that I had other commitments.
Stopped hanging around On the west side of town
I stopped frequenting the west side of town.
And if you ever came up I, I shut the rumors down
If rumors about you came up, I denied them.
So if I never told you
If I didn't express it, I was attempting to appear strong.
I was trying to be tough
Even if I didn't say it, I was trying to be tough.
So if I never told you, told you
If I didn't explicitly say it, I believed I was in love.
I thought I was in love
Reiteration of thinking she was in love.
I thought I was in love
-I cared about you too much
I had strong feelings for you.
I cared about you too much
-If you see me out
If you see me, don't engage; let me pass.
Just let me walk on by
I don't want you to witness my tears.
I don't want you to see
If I didn't say it, I was trying to be tough.
See all the tears in my eyes
Reiteration of hiding tears and emotional vulnerability.
So if I never told you (I never told you)
Even if I didn't say it, I was trying to be tough.
I was trying to be tough (to be tough)
Reiteration of trying to be emotionally strong.
So if I never told you, told you
If I didn't explicitly say it, I believed I was in love.
I thought I was in love
Reiteration of thinking she was in love.
I thought I was in love
-I cared about you too much
I had strong feelings for you.
I cared about you too much
-(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Background vocalization expressing emotion.
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
-Now I know what it means
Now I understand the meaning when I saw stars.
When I was seeing stars
Seeing stars implies a romantic experience.
So if you ever feel strange Stop it before it starts
If you feel something odd, stop it before it becomes significant.
I guess I was in love
Realization that she was indeed in love.
I guess I was in love
Reiteration of realizing she was in love.
I cared about you too much
I had strong feelings for you.
I cared about you too much, yeah
-(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Background vocalization expressing emotion.
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
-Now I know, now I know, now I know, know..
Now I understand, repeated for emphasis.
Now I know, now I know, now I know, know..
-(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Background vocalization expressing emotion.
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
-Now I know, now I know, now I know, know..
Now I understand, repeated for emphasis.
Now I know, now I know, now I know, know..
