Who Knew
Pink愀 Lyrics

You took my hand, you showed me how
You guided me and taught me new things in life.

You promised me you'd be around
You made a commitment to be with me forever.

Uh huh, that's right
Affirming the previous lines.

I took your words, and I believed
You gained my trust and I believed in everything you said.

In everything you said to me
I believed in all of your promises.

Yeah, huh, that's right
Affirming the previous lines.

If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out Cause they're all wrong I know better 'cause you said forever, and ever Who knew?
Despite anyone's prediction that you would leave, I refused to believe it because you promised to stay forever. Who knew that you would actually leave?

Remember when we were such fools
Reflecting on the past when both parties were naive or immature.

And so convinced and just too cool
Believing in one's own coolness, being confident and assertive.

Oh no, no, no
Expressing dissatisfaction with what happened in the past.

I wish I could touch you again
Expressing a desire to relive memories or have physical contact once more.

I wish I could still call you friend
You wish to have the same type of relationship with the person, despite any romantic feelings being gone.

I'd give anything
Being willing to do anything to regain that relationship or experience again.

When someone said count your blessings now 'Fore they're long gone I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong They knew better, still you said forever, and ever Who knew?
People told me to appreciate what I had before it was gone, but I didn't know how to. Despite their warnings, I believed in your promise of forever. Who knew that it would come to an end?

Yeah, yeah
Affirming the previous lines.

I'll keep you locked in my head until we meet again Until we, until we meet again And I won't forget you, my friend What happened?
You will always be a part of my memories and I will remember everything that happened between us. But the artist is confused about why the relationship ended.

That last kiss I'll cherish Until we meet again
Reflecting on a specific moment in the relationship, and preserving it in memory until they meet again.

And time makes It harder I wish I could remember But I keep Your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling Who knew?
Time is making it difficult to remember everything, but the singer still holds onto the memory and it visits them in dreams. The singer is expressing sadness and questioning how the relationship came to an end.

My darling My darling Who knew?
Affirming the previous line and calling back to the relationship with an endearing term.

My darling I miss you My darling Who knew?
Expressing missing the other person and once again reflecting on the fact that they had no idea the relationship would end.

Who knew?
Repeating the thematic refrain throughout the song, which is unexpected endings and changes in life that no one sees coming.
