I knew you once.

Didn't you know that?

Yeah, you pushed me away again and again,

But I kept trying,

Because I knew you weren't who you pretended to be,

Covered up beneath a shield of bitterness,

I knew you once.

You were my best friend, you know,

The person who never let me down,

The one who followed me,

The one who loved me,

Despite my faults,

You were my best friend, you know,

Now I see you,

All torn up and hurt,

You pretend to be a different person,

I can see that,

I know you long for revenge,

Against those who hurt you,

So yes,

Now I see you,

But I knew you once,

And I know you're still there,

Under all that cold and bitterness,

You're still my best friend,

And I knew you once.

I still know you now.
