You Didn't Know

You didn't know him
You didn't know, you didn't
You didn't know him, you didn't know

Young girl,
You say you met a man
Swearing you are the only one who understands him
He stole your heart
Held it in his hand
Slowly tangled it up in a web of his commands
How could you know?
No, you couldn't know

You didn't know him
You didn't know, you didn't
You didn't know him, you didn't know

He was your first, love
Yeah he likes it that way
Keep you promising you'll never think of another face
He took all your dreams and your family
Put em on a leash just out of your reach, sayin',
You got nothing left to lean on but me.
Who's your daddy? So where you gonna go?

You didn't know him
You didn't know, you didn't
You didn't know him, you didn't know

Forgetting yourself comes easy
When the only one you see treats you like nothing
You even start believing
That if you escape you'll waste away
When wasting's all that happens when you stay

Your hero
Becomes your demon
There's nowhere to hide
And you're terrified to leave him
You're far from the only one
Getting beat up by that trip he's on
And with each turn around the sun
He'll steal another star out of the sky
'Til whatever's in the dark is brought to light

You didn't know, you didn't know him
You didn't know, you didn't know him
We turn a blind eye to evil
For the sake of hanging on to what's familiar
Money wipes clean any slate
Power's louder than the pain so
We turn a blind eye to evil
For the sake of hanging on to what's familiar
Money wipes clean any slate
Power's louder than the pain

Of those who beg for justice for their fight
As another star is stolen from the night
And another angel falls out of the sky
'Til whatever's in the dark is brought to light
