Lyrics and translation Alela Diane - I Thought I Knew

I Thought I Knew

It was the last day of the year
It was coming down in sheets
I was sitting on the street
Soaked through from the sleet
I'd had too much to drink
I called you up and drew you in
I thought I knew but I was wrong
You came to my town, I showed you around
But everywhere we went reminded me of him
I'd been lying to myself again
I called you up and drew you in
I thought I knew but I was wrong
And I took to the sky with that knowing sinking feeling
I'd only just arrived but I foresaw the end
So I lay on the couch, helpless to my blunder
You turned off the lights upon me
And went upstairs alone
You knew that I was gone
You knew I was gone

Je pensais connaître

C'était le dernier jour de l'année
Il pleuvait à verse
J'étais assise dans la rue
Trempée jusqu'aux os
J'avais trop bu
Je t'ai appelé et t'ai attiré
Je pensais connaître mais je me trompais
Tu es venu dans ma ville, je te l'ai fait visiter
Mais partout où nous allions, cela me rappelait lui
Je me mentais à nouveau
Je t'ai appelé et t'ai attiré
Je pensais connaître mais je me trompais
Et je me suis envolée avec cette sensation de naufrage
Je venais d'arriver, mais je prévoyais la fin
Alors je me suis allongée sur le canapé, impuissante face à mon erreur
Tu as éteint les lumières sur moi
Et tu es monté seule
Tu savais que j'étais partie
Tu savais que j'étais partie
