You took my hand
You showed me how
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
[Chorus:1]
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
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 a friend
I'd give anything
[Chorus:2] [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/pink/who_knew.html ]
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
[Chorus:3]
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
Whether intended or not - this song is song is on many levels. It can talk of naivete, being in love with love, so that 'ear plugs', like blinders, make one oblivious to the meanings and truth. It can talk of a lover who is also one's best friend. It can talk, simply, of a friend and - friend or lover - of someone that is dead, with 'meeting again' meaning in the after life. It is sad in so many ways and, at the same time, a celebration of the beginning of an awakening. I could say much more, if only i had the time.
This song minds me of a friend who died age 38 from breast cancer but like in the song if i had known 3yrs from now,but who knew.we would have spoken sooner.but now its 2 late.luv u jack.xx
I dedicate this song to me and my bestfriend.. I live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. She moved here early last year. We met throu school and we became bestfriends because we got along so well. Id never met anyone like her.. Being bestfriends, we promised to be there for eachother forever, uno, just like bestfriends do. She changed me. Not for the good either. Everyone who i'd been to school with noticed the change and told me that her being the type of person she is, that she would someday find someone better than me, and then get rid of me right away. I never believed them.. Then it happend..
I love this song sooo much its amazing, its really sad though and makes me cry. Also the chorus changes through the song from "i knew better cos you said forever" to "they knew better still you said forever" as her attitude towards the boy changes. She really believes hes going to be there forever at the beginning but by the end shes just saying i still love you.
This just reminds me on how many people have said and still say that me and my hubby wont make it... It scares me... We've been through so much and we have been close to giving up and it reminds me of those times...
To me, it reminds me of one of my closest friends. We had a fling on and off, and he was, and still is, an amazing person. We never worked out as a couple, as badly as i wanted us to be. I had the biggest crush on him when i was in 6th grade all the way to 9th,and he took me to prom when he was a senior because he had always told me he would, and he did,hehe. Once he graduated from high school, he got into drugs and just lost himself and made so many mistakes. I never saw him much. He dated a girl that changed him,completely. He was a upbeat guy to a shallow hermit. He has a lot of potential and the only time i ever saw or spoke to him is when i dreamt of him.it was like high school was all he had, because once he got out of it, everything he could make of himself disappeared. We dont talk or see each other any more and i worry about him constantly. He meant alot to me, still does. I cry when i hear this song because its exactly how i feel when i think of him.
