[Verse 1]

I never held your gaze

I never know my place

Oh, I stare at the eyes starin' at my face

It always ends in a tie

There is no knitting the divide

I cry at the joke explained

[Chorus]

Ah, but if I had known, if I had known

If I had known, I would have never believed

[Verse 2]

I never smoked my chain

Whoever measures the crest

Ah, they can have my broken chest

It's a staring contest

In a hall of mirrors

I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry

[Chorus]

Ah, if I had known, if I had known

If I had known, I would have never believed

[Verse 3]

I never knelt at the news

My parrot perished in the pews

I climb back into the yolk

It always ends in a tie

There is no knitting the divide

I cry at the joke explained

[Chorus]

Ah, if I had known, if I had known

If I had known, I would have never believed

[Outro]

I would have never believed

I would have never believed
