    THE MAN SHE THOUGHT SHE KNEW © Words and Music: Charles Hollingsworth / Brad Reaves / Donna Aylor He used to bring her roses And lay petals on their sheets They would talk for hours Now he seldom speaks In her heart she knows Leaving’s what she ought to do Still she keeps clinging To the man she thought she knew He used to take her dancing Now he tiptoes in at daylight She stopped asking questions He stopped telling lies This morning he came home To an empty house of rooms Without a word she let go Of the man she thought she knew Bridge:It’s easy for a man to see When his eyes are soaked with tears How a fool takes love for granted How lonely heartache feels As he holds their photograph He relives the times he lied Lord, how it’s killing him To know her love has died If heaven hears this man With all he put his woman through I pray she’ll forgive me I’m the man she thought she knew Yes I can feel the hell She was going through And I pray she’ll forgive me I’m the man she thought she knew
