THE MAN SHE THOUGHT SHE KNEW

(c) Words and Music: Donna Aylor -Charles Hollingsworth-Brad Reaves

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 holding on
To the man she thought she knew

She used cry herself to sleep
When he tiptoed in late at night
She stopped asking questions
Ohhh and he stopped telling lies
This morning he came home
To a house of empty 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
And how a lonely heartache feels

As he holds their photograph
He relives (the times he lied) (her cold good-bye)
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
The man she thought she knew

Now I can feel the hell
She was going through
And I pray she’ll forgive me
The man she thought she knew
