When You Knew Nothing

You’re gonna cry,

Yourself to sleep,

You’re gonna have a new dream,

And wake up and realize what it means.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

He held your hand,

He walked you home,

He smiled and winked and

Made you feel whole.

But when, he’s gone

And you hold your own hand,

You’re gonna realize,

You’re gonna understand.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.

 

And once you know it all,

That’s when you want to know nothing.

You wish you didn’t know now,

What you didn’t know then,

But you can never go back there again.

 

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

Just a short time in your life

When you knew nothing.

It all means nothing.

This won’t mean nothing.

It’s just a short time in your life,

That you know nothing.
