that night i stood out in the rain, that night i stood out in a daze, but i wasn't always there
that night my jaw dropped, that night my ears betrayed my heart. that night my jaw dropped and i, wished i never heard
how could he do that to his friend, how could he spoil the greatest gift, and i, had to tell someone
that night i spoke out, that night i told you what he'd done, that night i spoke out, but you, did not seem convinced.

how could you say you didn't know

that night i heard all in the rain, that night i heard it plain as day, but where was i when i heard
that night she told me, but i cannot make out her face, where were we standing, i can't recall the place
how can i carry all this grief, how can you just not believe me, i'm sure, i heard it with my ears
the way you stare back, the way your smile condescends, that doubting glare back, before a pitying embrace.

how could you say you didn't know

is it a legend in my mind
cause it was clear and true to life
is it a legend in my mind
and what clues illuminate the lies
is it a legend in my mind
cause these things happen all the time
is it a legend in my mind
is it a legend

so now i stand out in the rain, to feel the water on my face, to know, the way the water feels
and then my jaw drops, at how my mind betrays my soul, rain marries tear drops, and i, don't want to be here

how could you say you didn't know
