Description
As with all of my songs, this one was inspired by my own experience... a broken heart, which is something almost all of us can relate to. The man who inspired this song later become one of my best friends. He passed away before I recorded it. Somehow, I believe he would have liked it.
Lyrics
Baby, sometimes I wish I didn't know you so well. Is it a blessing or is it a curse? I just can't tell. I swear it's almost as if I can read your mind. And if I could see in your heart, I know just what I'd find. Cuz I know you're thinking of me. I know that you love me. I know you believe I'm the one. But you're the last one to know it. The last one to show it. And you're always the first one to run. There isn't much I don't know, or much I can't see. And what I ain't figured out yet, it would never surprise me. They say that we like someone because, and we love someone although. And though I love you, you're nothing but heartache. So I have to let you go. Cuz I know you're thinking of me. I know that you love me. I know you believe I'm the one. You're the last one to know it. The last one to show it. And you're always the first one to run. You keep walking away, expecting me to stay. You think I'll always be there when you fall. But one day you'll wake up, expecting me to make up. And for once I won't answer your call. They say love is blind, and now I believe that it's true. Cuz you just don't see, I'm the best thing that ever happened to you. So I'm leaving for good. And I know I'll be fine on my own. You can steal every other girl's heart, and you'll still be alone. Cuz I know you're thinking of me. I know that you love me. I know you believe I'm the one. But you're the last one to know it. The last one to show it. And you're always the first one to run. Yes, you're always the first one to run.
