The Apartments - Knowing You Were Loved Lyrics

knowing you were loved
wasn’t that the best thing that you ever had—
then watched vanish?

knowing you were loved
you traded away your loneliness
you thought you could never die

you know those days that blur
the stones of loving her
scenes that flicker in your head
for days you thought of her
you pray for things that were
you’re nothing, nothing but desire

knowing you were loved
you will go from place to place
leave, then leaving never ends

knowing you were loved
you go and hold down any job
it’s a world of bills, a run of jacks

you know those days that blur
the stones of loving her
scenes that flicker in your head
for days you thought of her
you pray for things that were
you’re nothing, nothing but desire

wasn’t that the best thing?
wasn’t that the best thing?
wasn’t that the best thing?

you know those days that blur
the stones of loving her

wasn’t that the best thing?
you could never die
scenes that flicker in your head...
