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?
