Didn’t Know Love lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought I had it long ago
I held on, but it let go
It kissed me on a subway train, and I melted
It got my hand, it brushed my cheek
It moved right in, it cut me deep
You know it even had a name, I really felt it

[Chorus]
I didn't know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever known
It's making me weak, making me strong
It's making me afraid I'm going to wake up and find it gone
I didn't know love

[Verse 2]
It's a blessing, it's a curse
You know you've found it when it hurts
It can drive you off a cliff, but it's worth it
Careful where you spend the night
It's complicated when it's right
You can make me such a mess
Yeah, you're perfect

[Chorus]
I didn't know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever known
It's making me weak, making me strong
It's making me afraid I'm going to wake up and find you gone
I didn't know love
No, I didn't know love
[Verse 3]
Now you're lying in my arms, beside me
In the past, I'd settle for a touch
I'd tell myself it was enough
I was lying, lying, lying
'Cause I didn't know love, mm

[Chorus]
I didn't know love, not even close
This is more beautiful and frightening than I've ever known
It's making me weak, making me strong
It's making me afraid I'm going to wake up and find you gone
I didn't know love
No, I didn't know love

[Outro]
I didn't know love
I didn't know love, oh
