Description
Sometimes ignorance isn't a weakness, but the safest way to stay alive. While my eyes are closed, my heart beats more evenly, and even lies sound cosy. Truth, as always, arrives at the wrong time - cold, without warning, and everything collapses: the beautiful picture, the belief that "everything will be fine," even the taste of morning coffee. And all that's left is that quiet "I wish I hadn't known." Because maybe then it would still have been possible to love - foolishly, blindly, but truly.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I never asked you where you're goin'
I've never asked you where you've been
I've never called and checked your story
When you stayed out with all your friends
I've never tried to catch you lyin'
I didn't wanna know the truth
I'd rather go on lovin' blind, boy
Than go on lovin' without you
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' that you could ever be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow, I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I've always said what I don't know
Couldn't hurt as bad as leavin' you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin'
It ain't an easy thing to do
Well, I guess I should be goin'
I sure found out too much to stay
Please, don't say you're sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' that you could ever be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Still look like a fool in front of your friends
I wish, somehow, I didn't know now
What I didn't know then
Yeah, wish I didn't know
What I know right now
Wish I didn't know
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow, I didn't know now
What I didn't know then
Yeah, I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' that you could ever be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow, I didn't know now
What I didn't know then
Yeah, I wish somehow, I didn't know now
What I didn't know then, shit
Wish I didn't know what I know right now
It's breaking my heart
Oh, baby, it's breaking my heart
