"I Didn't Know" lyrics - UB40

"I Didn't Know"

I didn't know that I
Each and every day would die
When it dawns on me that you are gone

As I open up my eyes
Pretty soon I realize
You ain't coming back and I'm alone

[Chorus:]
And now all I know
Is I got no place to go
There's no guarantee
This broken heart ain't killin' me

But you're in tune to my frequency
You tracked me down and captured me
Making me forget what I should do

Just as I was getting high
You said it's time to say goodbye to me
And now I'm washed up without you

[Chorus]

How could I know what you
Every day were going through
I could hardly get you on the phone

Having to be careful too
Not let people know it's you
Listening to my whispers all alone

[Chorus]

We couldn't know that we
Would find ourselves so easily
Ringing bells and setting off alarms

I'm hoping that eventually
I'll say goodbye to misery
And wake up with you lying in my arms

[Chorus 4x]
