I done fell for some dumb duds
Made excuses for 'em every time
Went outside myself
Swallowed my pride
Laying down where all my sins reside
But when I took those rose colored glasses off
Yo, I was shocked
Much better off
Vision restored to Technicolor like in Oz
Revelations emerge from the fog
You never knew I was just lonely
Waiting for you at night
To console me
I never knew you was just horny
Late night feelings in your mind
They controlling
Painting pictures
Trying to fill in what we lacked
Too blind to see
Wasn't a match
Yet you never knew (You never knew, I never knew)
I never knew (I never knew, what we gonna do)
Baby I can't read your mind
And I'm so damn tired of trying
But my expectations kept me intertwined
No longer on a straight line
But when I took those rose colored glasses off (Glasses off)
Yo, I was shocked (Shocked)
Much better off (Much better off)
Vision restored to Technicolor like in Oz
Revelations emerge from the fog
You never knew I simply needed space (Simply needed space)
Always tried my hardest
To keep you in your place (Keep you in your place)
I never knew you was so needy (So damn needy)
Forever seeking different ways
To please me (Oh ooh woah)
Painting pictures
Trying to fill in what we lacked
Too blind to see
Wasn't a match (It wasn't a match)
Yet you never knew (You never knew, I never knew)
I never knew (I never knew, what we gonna do)
I learned I was hoping
You'd be everything I wanted
Maybe you felt the same
Too afraid to confront it?
Put pressure on the thought
Didn't notice you would crumble
You fell into my blindspot
Never saw it through the tunnel
Now we can't go back (Hmm)
Swervin' left and right
Til we fell off track
No we ain't goin' back (Uhh uhh)
Yeah we got lost
But we can't backtrack
I really wish I could solve it
But I was unaware how it started
You never knew, I never knew
I never knew, what we gonna do
You never knew, I never knew
I never knew, what we gonna do (Yeah I was unaware how it started)
I never knew, what we gonna do
(I never knew, what we gonna do) But I was unaware how it started
