When I Didn't Know How to Sing

My latest song :)

(Lyrics)
I never knew you
but I knew you well
from a song on the radio
a night hot as hell
I laid on my bed
my feet on the wall
head to the speaker
with your voice
in my heart
both broken in some part
your words
in my soul
when I didn't know how to sing

You never knew me
but you knew me best
stole all your best lines
out of my chest
while I was dancing
with a shadow I knew
that had no face
but it was you
in my arms when
my arms
were empty
comfort and kindness
when I didn't know how to sing

(years can change your memory)
years can change a lot of things
memories among them
(innocence can fade)
and innocence and belief
can be wrung from them
(but I remember always...)
but I remember you and me
the summer I was 13
and your song
in my mind
and my mind was open
your voice
in my heart
before it was broken
your soul
in my soul
when I didn't know how to sing

and I never knew you
but I knew you well....
