Who Knew lyrics

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

    My friend's boo just broke up with her today ( 6-20-09 ) i couldnt stand it. i was so mad and she was so sad she cried. i called him a bad word. but anyway we were in the car alone cuz we just got home and everyone else was inside and the engine was still running, so i turned on the radio. Pink's song "Who Knew" was on and we listened to it. later it came on the music channel on tv. and we recorded it. she listen to it on the cd player 4 a while. she felt a whole lot better. Thx Pink... U rock. ~Jelly-Bean :) hola if ya know me Shae!

    I like this song because it makes me remember my past. Good times and bad. It has a sweet ache of rememberance to it.

  • Peligrie 0 points

    I think sometimes the song & video don't necessarily always mean the same things. They can be singing about a breakup and the video producer has a different idea.

    Like the Rascal Flatts song that was mentioned above--song was about a split but vid was about him dying instead.

    So I think everyone is correct in their assumptions about the song & video. IMO Pink means a sudden split (it's probably one of those "anything could have happened to make him not be in the picture") and the video is indicating he had a drug problem.

    I love this song so much b/c i went out with this boy and we broke up and we then became just friends and then i started liking him again and he had 2 go somewhere and he won't be back 4 a long time. so this song has helped me pull it together!

  • hanna 0 points

    i luv dis song it really shows u tht u shouldnt take things for granted because with a blink of an eye it could all be gone. and look alot of people are asking wut da song means but really it means wuteva u want it to. like pink knows wut she means by the song but u take it how u want it could be from anything to a dieng friend a break up or just loosing a friendship either way it touches the herat. so whoeva is wondering wut it means i hope this helps.

  • Hannah 0 points

    When this song first came out I really didn't like it, but now I understand it. It relates to what I'm going through right now, because of what with my x-boyfriend and I. So I would just like to say I love this song it helped me get through this, and I'm a big fan of Pink! (Btw:This is how I relate to this song)

    Best song of 2006 so far right here. Today is Bucks vs....pssh. Whoever. Bucks are gonna win. But we're celebrating the big game with Pink's newest CD. This is my favorite song on the album, although it's hard to choose. :)

    This is a great song for anyone who's just out of a relationship...my boyfriend and I broke up just a little while ago and this song was on the radio the day after...the lyrics don't exactly offer advice but it can hold you together in a way because its as if she's saying just what you're thinking!!

  • kate 0 points

  • Radcliffe 0 points

    yee. this song is awesome.. && my well, i can`t exactly say "boyfriend" cause we weren`t dating, but it was like we were, said we could do this anymore && shitt. and when i heard this song..i could just relate to it..cause it all just happened to me, and i know, i know, that its about a guy killing himself., but you can take it either way, really, someone dying, or losing a boyfriend. but yee.

  • J 0 points

    dis is a awesome song cuz I jus moved to d other side of d world n left a guy n iv neva felt the way I did about him about sum1 else n its bin like 5 months n i still love him n miss him

  • Sarah 0 points

    I heard it on the radio and I really wanted to download it! It's awesome, but sad..... :'(. Pink's hair is kinda weird too! I think he tried to commit suicide. Everyone that's posted a comment said that it helped them through tough times, thats really good that a song like this has. I don't have a bf though, to young!

  • Junnie 0 points

    Better than her other songs, sad, so true. Shed a tear. Heartbreaking, really. Hope it didn't really happen to anyone.

  • Elaine 0 points

    GOO PINKKK!!

  • Sara 0 points

    haha your all pretty dumb. it's a song about a guy that died, not a boyfriend. well a boyfriend, that died. cept you chelsea, you seem to have a clue. besides that i love the song, reminds me of my best friends brother who died in a car accident recentlu. this same kid was a friend of mines xbf and even after they broke up you could still tell they were crazy about eachother, oh and word to the wise, she wishes every day she told him a thousand and one times that she cared about him so much and she will wish every day until the day she dies. so don't take anybody for granted. cuz you never know when you might love em.

    anyway.story times over. i was with both of them when the music video came on. made us all cry. it's a good song rip brandon turgeon

    I love this song. its one of my favorites beside what hurts the most by rascal flatts. My boyfriend josh died four months ago from a drug over dose and this song just helps me deal with everything. i miss josh and this song just makes me remeber the good times. and it lets me know josh will always be here with me even if i cant see him. I love pink!

  • Kate 0 points

    I'm not a very big Pink fan, but when "Stupid Girls" came out, I absolutely loved her for it, because that's what I've been dying to say to all the stupid annoying preps at school forever. Then, this song came out, and I LOVED it. It's an amazing song, relatable lyrics.

  • Cass 0 points

    this song kept me going. my boyfriend and i have had some problem.we dated for almost 2 years and now hes graduated ..this year and we thought wed be together for ever but now hes going away and this song by pink really says ..no one knows how long things will last. he is now going to go away to university in the states after the summer. so count your blessings. cuz they will be all gone.

  • Kimberlyn 0 points

    the song is about a friend of hers who died. i read something about it in a magazine.

  • Miruna 0 points

    Hey everybody!! I just read all the comments and i´d like to add mine. I can´t believe Pink has managed to release such a good song, I love it and ,as everybody here said, it remembers me of my ex bf back in Romania... yeah, we said forever, but I had to leave to another country and it all fell apart slowly... I can´t really understand the video, I´m not sure of all the explanations above. Thanks for posting the lyrics!!

  • Rebecca 0 points

    i love this song, i dont think it reminds me of my ex but it does remind me of all the good times i have had wif all my other bfs in it makes me happy but sad at the same time.......i love listening to songs that make me think back to the good times i have had with people espcially if i have just broken up wif sum1 or had a fight withe a friend or if i jus feel depressed,they realy make me think that life may seem long at points, but its really short wen u think about it, and it could be gone so quickly,i love songs that make me cry coz every1 needs a good cry every now and then, u shouldnt have to wait for sum1 to die or be serouisly injured or sumthing to cry!!!

  • Morgan 0 points

    Interesting, all the commenters are female, no offense. Male here. And amazingly, I relate to this song, heard it right after my g/f left me. Oddly timed I'd say. It also reminds me of my first as well, she had forever, well you can guess how that turned out. Anyways my comment.

  • Emma 0 points

    This is a great song a guy i had a crush on told me he liked me and then we went out for 4 days :/ then he broke up with me and told me it would be better if we took it slower . and we would get back together , but were not gettin back together because he likes someone else now and he was just leading me on but i still love him . this song really helps ! thanks pink!

  • brooke 0 points

    This song is great... me and my boyfriend i was absolutly in love with.. just broke up with me. He told me we'd be together forever but my parents and even teachers said it'd never last, because i am a sophmore.. and he just graduated. This song basically what happened with me and him

  • mar 0 points

    i dunno i just like it

  • Rosie 0 points

    i think different people think the song means different things...like to some people its about a break up and to tohers it can be about sum1 dying or something...i dno i can relate to both of those things in the song! like breaking up with a bf all the lyrics r so true, and also when like a family member dies they also sound so true!cos my mum died 2 years ago..and i can really relate the song to tht...but then i dno...

  • Kyliee 0 points

    No. the song is about a realtionship she had with someone that was ended due to the person overdosing on drugs. and it was someone very close to her.
    thats what the song//video is about.

  • claire 0 points

    hey the lyrics are basically saying that the relationship was carefree, and young loving. All her mates was trying to tell her otherwise that it wont last and she didnt like hearing that because she was in love. Where it says 'count your blessings now' ever heard of that saying? its when people take things for granted and they only relised what they had when it was too late and gone.
    She also relied on the bf, believing that they would be together forever but because of the heiron she had to leave him. hopefully that will help i'm not 100% right but thats what i think. xx

    hi the film shows he's a herion addict. The water i think symbolise that they are trapped, he didnt kill himself coz his gf rung 4 an ambalance. xx
