What's the good of knowing things you'd never miss

What's the good of knowing one wayward kiss

I cursed myself with knowledge and lost my innocence

What's the good of knowing your deepest fear / the end is near

Now I spend my hours waiting for the past to reappear

What's good of knowing truth from a lie / one more surprise

I begged for her confession and learned of my demise

What's the good	of knowing the words they sang / the bells they rang

What's the good of knowing forgotten dreams / one broken seam

I thought I learned my lesson but I'm still in-between

What's the good of knowing?
