Who Knew
Pink(핑크) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh, that's right
I took your words, and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah, huh, that's right
If someone said three years from now
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better 'cause you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
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?
Yeah, yeah
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?
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 and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we 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?
My darling
My darling
Who knew?
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew?
Who knew?
The song 'Who Knew' by Pink is about someone who reflects on a past relationship that ended too soon. The lyrics tell a story of a woman who trusted everything her partner said and believed that they would be together forever. However, things did not go as planned, and the partner left suddenly, leaving her feeling broken and searching for answers. The chorus is a powerful statement of disbelief at the end of the relationship, questioning how things could have gone so wrong when there was so much promise.
The first verse talks about how the partner promised to be there for her, and she believed everything they said. The second verse talks about how they were both young and thought they were too cool for everything, not realizing how foolish they were in retrospect. The bridge talks about how the woman wished she could still be with her partner and be friends with them, but that wasn't possible anymore. The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing the disbelief and sadness that the woman feels.
Throughout the song, the focus is on the emotional impact of a sudden breakup and the sense of loss that comes with it. The storytelling is poignant, and the way the song builds to the chorus is powerful. Pink's vocals manage to convey both the sadness and the frustration that come with a lost love.

You took my hand, you showed me how
You guided me in life and I followed you
You promised me you'd be around
You assured me your presence in my life
I took your words, and I believed
I trusted everything you said to me
In everything you said to me
I believed and followed your every word
If someone said three years from now
If someone told me in the future
You'd be long gone
You wouldn't be here anymore
Cause they're all wrong
I wouldn't believe them
I know better 'cause you said forever, and ever
I believed your promise of everlasting presence
Who knew?
Who knew that promise wasn't true?
When someone said count your blessings now
When someone advised me to appreciate what I have now
'Fore they're long gone
Before they disappear from my life
I guess I just didn't know how
I didn't know how to appreciate them properly
They knew better, still you said forever, and ever
Others knew the truth about your promises, but I still believed
I'll keep you locked in my head until we meet again
I'll never forget about you until we meet again
And I won't forget you, my friend
I'll always remember you as my friend
That last kiss, I'll cherish
I'll always treasure our final kiss
And time makes it harder
As time goes on, it becomes more difficult
I wish I could remember
I wish I could remember everything, every detail of our time together
But I keep your memory
I still hold on to memories of you
You visit me in my sleep
I dream of you
My darling
My dear love
Who knew?
Who knew our love would end like this?
My darling, I miss you
My beloved, I long for you
Who knew?
Who knew our love would be this painful?

@@Cal90208 I lost my aunt I think I was only 2 when she died but my whole life I was told she was just my mums best friend until recently I found out she was actually my dads sister
This song was played at the funeral and even tho I don’t remember her I feel like this song is the only connection I have with her so it makes me cry..
I also saw pictures of her recently and I look like her
I just wish I could meet her and remember her
“That last kiss I’ll cherish until we meet again”
“I wish I could remember”
“But I keep your memory you visit me in my sleep”- apparently when I was 3 I ran down to my mum and said “aunty lelly visited me in my sleep” and described her perfectly
RIP lelly cole
Until we meet again 💔❤️

This is why I love 2000-2009 music
Pink- taught us how to get over someone, that we are worth the fight.
Kesha- had so many great party songs/ to laugh and act crazy to
Katy Perry- taught us to be young in the moment and love
Black eyed peas- dance all night and know that everything was gonna be fine
Rihanna- to not care what ppl think and life your life the way that makes you happy
Avril Lavigne- love your self first and to not be sad over a guy/
be happy
What happened to this kinda music?😭
@cecoletti1
Saddest song ever.
That bridge just kills me. Every. Fucking. Time.
The last kiss, I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I'll keep your memory
You'll visit me in my sleep
My darling

@chazzwanie
@@fuckcancer8679 Not necessary must be 12 years old to feel it, granpa. If u had experience of losing someone that u love, then you'll understand this. Till then, u'll mock others. Age doesn't matter.

This is easily her best song, and is standing the test of time. The lyrics are even more heartbreaking and profound the older you become..

So true, sober is right up there though. Sober was a pretty great help when it was time to go through the rehab experience and made getting through it much easier
