I once knew all the answers, I stood on certain ground

 A picture of true happiness, confidence so effortless

 No brighter could be found

 

 I never asked the questions that trouble me today

 I knew all there was to know, love worn lightly, put on show

 A conquest on display

 

 

 And who would have thought his love could be so good

 Not me, not me

 My secrets and my passions understood

 Not me, not me

 

 

 Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away

 To be with someone till his dying day

 Not me, not me

 

 

 I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they share

 An empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess

 I need some comfort there

 

 

 And who would have thought his love could be so good

 Not me, not me

 My secrets and my passions understood

 Not me, not me

 

 

 Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away

 To be with someone till his dying day

 Not me, not me

 

 

 But not me, oh not me
