I never held your gaze
I never know my place
I stare at the eyes starin' at my face
It always ends in a tie
There is no knitting the divide
I cry at the joke explained
But if I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I'll never smoke my chain
Whoever measures the crest
Oh, they can have my broken chest
And it's a staring contest
In a hall of mirrors
I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry
If I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I never knelt at the news
My parrot perished in the pews
I climb back into the yolk
It always ends in a tie
There is no knitting the divide
I cry at the joke explained
But if I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I would have never believed
I would have never believed
I never know my place
I stare at the eyes starin' at my face
It always ends in a tie
There is no knitting the divide
I cry at the joke explained
But if I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I'll never smoke my chain
Whoever measures the crest
Oh, they can have my broken chest
And it's a staring contest
In a hall of mirrors
I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry
If I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I never knelt at the news
My parrot perished in the pews
I climb back into the yolk
It always ends in a tie
There is no knitting the divide
I cry at the joke explained
But if I had known, if I had known
If I had known, I would have never believed
I would have never believed
I would have never believed
