you never knew my mind

Chris Cornell

I know you feel the way I change, but you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you, one of a kind
And I think someway you'll make it, though you don't know how to take it
Sometimes you're a stranger to me, one of a kind

There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open and honest
Loving easy, kind and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were all together fine
You never really knew my mind
You never really knew my mind

My silence holds the secrets when I answer but don't answer
You did not see me well enough to recognize the signs
You didn't want to notice or know that it was over
I did not see you well enough to recognize the signs

And there were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, kind and honest
Loving easy, kind and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were all together fine
Then you saw the changes painfully
And you knew, you never really knew my mind

And I suppose you never doubted
That we were all together fine
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
And sometimes you're a stranger to me
Sometimes, maybe all the time
You never really knew my mind
I never really knew your mind
