YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW ME
Music by Jeremy Hoop & Rachel Koller
Lyrics by Jeremy Hoop
© Copyright 2015 Opus Meridian Records & Rachel Koller

I’ve been so long afraid to find muddy water
buried down deep under mountains of snow
your discontent found a home in my winter
we each in a way fell in love with the cold
cold is my one recollection that’s true
the rest of it’s up to you

you thought you knew me
I thought I knew me too

you never saw me without all my makeup
now that you do tell me what do you see
I like this face, I’ve decided to wake up
& leave off the paint that was covering me
if you can’t accept my complexion this way
I’m begging you not to stay

you thought you knew me
I thought I knew me too

I’m surely not saying I’m totally happy
with every new blemish I find
but I’m a divine work in progress and falling forward’s
better than falling behind

you thought you knew me
I thought I knew me too
you thought you knew me
I thought I knew me too
