Lyrics

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
