I knew you so well

living in the wildernis 

of your mind, I knew so well

where I have dwelt , so many times 

where you could not hide
what kept you alive
I knew you by heart 

sometimes a little tough

but no more than that 

and I knew you so well 

your thoughts ringing a bell 

if not with me
maybe with somebody else

they'll get to know you as I did 

I don't know if I can take it 

but there it is, I must leave

guess I have come to know you too well
started ringing too many bells 

the sound a deafening one

I could not hear you think at all  

you have closed your mind for me 

it made a retreat I could not foresee

never did I hear you think again 

when it came to that 

I knew I had to go away 

living in the wilderness 

of your mind

I knew the time had come
I would stop climbing

those mountains inside 

and I knew you so well 

your thoughts would ring a bell 

if not with me 

maybe with somebody else

looking for you one more time 

I realised I had lost you 

your thoughts were somewhere else

'cause I know you too well

I could not get in
the bolt was thrown
a key turned 

memories were burned 

in the fire of your mind 

disappearing into the light 

and I knew you so well 

your thoughts would ring a bell 

if not with me 

maybe with somebody else
