You Never Knew Me Lyrics

Cover art for You Never Knew Me lyrics by Magazine

Probably my favourite Magazine song. The lyrics don't need explaining, they're pretty strightforward but great. One of the best summaries of a dysfunctional and mutually destructive relationship. Isn't it like this most of the time - you never really get to know the other person, or the other way round, you never can really know the way they feel.

My favourite parts: "You're what keeps me alive You're what's destroying me Do you want the truth? Or do you want your sanity?" and even better: "You were hell And everything else was just a mess I found I'd stepped into the deepest unhappiness" and "We had to kill too much Before we could even kiss"

Brilliant.

@nightandday Totally agree. No explanation needed! Just drown yourself in a beer already! lol
