You Never Knew My Mind by Chris Cornell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you feel the way I change
But you can't change the way I feel
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
One of a kind
And I think some way you'll make it
Though you don't know how to take it
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
One of a kind

[Chorus]
There were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
You never really knew my mind
You never really knew my mind

[Verse 2]
My silence holds the secrets find
I answer but don't answer
You did not see me well enough
To recognize the signs
You didn't want to notice
Or know that it was over
I did not see you well enough
To recognize the signs
[Chorus]
And there were times of lots of laughter
And you felt you understood
We were carefree, open, and honest
Lovin', easy, kind, and true
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Then you saw the changes painfully
And you knew
You never really knew my mind

[Bridge]

[Outro]
And I suppose you never doubted
That we were altogether fine
Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
Sometimes you're a stranger to me
Sometimes, maybe all the time
You never really knew my mind
I never really knew your mind
