Story Behind The Song

The melody came to the author during a overnight train trip, along with the phrase "nobody knows, nobody knows but you". Other lyrics were added later.

Song Description

This lover wakes up from past mistakes and realizes that the one he lost was the best thing in his life. But there is still hope. So even though the musical setting projects some sadness about the past, the combination of sounds and rythmic effects keeps a feeling of optimism about the future.

Lyrics

I've been a fool, by The Neech

My friends keep asking me why they don't see you anymore
It seems that at the time I didn't know what I was looking for
Nobody knows, nobody knows but you

I was just playing games while you were giving me your heart
Love is a two way street and I wasn't doing my part
Nobody knows, nobody knows but you

I made a fool out of you
I made a fool out of you and I'm sorry

I know now that you were the best thing that ever happened to me
I close my eyes and try to remember the way you used to be
Nobody knows, nobody knows but you

I miss you so much and I miss all the things that we used to do
If I had known what I know today I would have held on to you
I've been a fool, I've been a fool

I think I did a little growing after you went away
What keeps me going is the hope that you'll take me back some day
Nobody knows, nobody knows but you

I hold on to memories of how good together we were
So baby give me one more chance to show you that I care
Nobody knows, nobody knows but me

I'll make a queen out of you
I'll make a queen out of you 'cause I love you
