Know/No

i never got to know
all that i wanted to know
everything
i never got the chance to know

far-fetched, fleeting hopes
like dandelion seeds, blow
then fall apart, with all my heart
wishing from the window

that they stick around, find fertile ground
grow instead of go

but no
i’ll watch another maybe take flight
disappear without a single reason why
and i won’t ask what i don’t want to know

i was me, though
that’s why i don’t want to know
though, it’ll eat me alive
there was such a bright light

and now there’s barely a glow!
what did i do to dim this so?
i was me, i think i see
so now i don’t want to know

just know, just know
just know that i had hope

but no
i’ll watch another maybe take flight
disappear without a single reason why
and i won’t ask what i don’t want to know
