I Didn't Know
Matt Shockley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And change a perfect destiny
Now theres nothing I can say
And theres nothing I can do
To take away the pain of losing you
(I didnt know)
I never thought you were real
(I didnt know)
I shouldve believed you could be so real
Cause this is the beginning of the never-ending life that I have
You never really know this could fall on you
At a moment that you least expect
And youll wish you would have known
And youll wish that you could change
But one things for sure its too late
Its too late
(I didnt know)
I never thought you were real
I wouldve turned back around
(I didnt know)
I shouldve believed you could be so real
Cause this is the beginning of the never-ending life that I have
Bridge:
I do believe now
I do believe now
Just believe
Oh
, the lyrics to Matt Shockley's song 'I Didn't Know' convey the sentiment of regret and loss. The singer expresses that he didn't realize the gravity of a situation until it was too late. He didn't know that losing someone he cared about could suddenly come crashing down on him, and it has changed the course of his fate. He is now left with nothing to say, and nothing to do, except to mourn and feel the pain of losing the person forever.
The singer confesses that he never thought this person was real, to begin with, and he should have believed that this could happen. He wishes that he had turned back around, or done something to change the outcome, but now he realizes that it's too late. The refrain "I didn't know" repeats like a haunting reminder, emphasizing the singer's ignorance and his inability to foresee the tragedy that has befallen him. However, in the bridge, the singer sings of his newfound belief. He has come to realize the importance of trusting and believing, perhaps in a higher power or the power of love. It's a poignant and reflective moment, where the singer acknowledges his past mistakes and hopes for a better future.
In conclusion, 'I Didn't Know' is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the pain and regret of losing someone. It's about the importance of recognizing the significance of people and events in our lives, and not taking them for granted. The lyrics are simple but profound, evoking a deep sense of sadness and longing for what could have been.

I didnt really know this could fall on me
I did not expect this situation to happen to me
And change a perfect destiny
It has altered my previously presumed future
Now theres nothing I can say
I am at a loss for words
And theres nothing I can do
I am powerless in this situation
To take away the pain of losing you
I cannot erase the heartache that came with losing you
(I didnt know)
I was not aware
I never thought you were real
I did not believe in your existence
I wouldve turned back around
I would have reconsidered my choice
(I didnt know)
I was not aware
I shouldve believed you could be so real
I ought to have trusted that you were genuine
Cause this is the beginning of the never-ending life that I have
This is a new chapter in my life that will go on and on
You never really know this could fall on you
No one can predict life's twists and turns
At a moment that you least expect
When you are unprepared
And youll wish you would have known
You will regret not knowing better
And youll wish that you could change
You will wish for the power to undo past decisions
But one things for sure its too late
It is now impossible to alter things
I do believe now
I have faith now
I do believe now
I have faith now
Just believe
Have faith
