Let's just say that the party never happened
I never noticed your eyes
So it stands to reason
You didn't leave with me
If we never met that night
So I guess I don't know
What it's like to love you
What it's like to hold you at all
And I guess that when I left in the morning
I couldn't wait two days to call

So I'll say "I never knew you that way"
'Cause on the night you left we said
"Let's pretend we never met"

I ain't lonely 'cause I don't miss you
'Cause there ain't no one to miss
I don't pine for you, I don't dream of you
I don't long for your kiss
And who's to say that all that love we made
That all that love remains unmade?
And who's to say that early in the morning, girl
I wasn't always sullen
I was a riot sometimes

So I'll say "I never knew you that way"
'Cause on the night you left we said
"Let's pretend we never met"

And girl, my girl, it'll get hard someday
Girl, my girl, I know it's better this way
And girl, my girl, it'll get hard someday
Girl, my girl, I know it's better this way

So I'll say "I never knew you that way"
'Cause on the night you left we said
"Let's pretend we never met, met"
We never met, met
