I Know So Little (so Well) Lyrics - Shelter

I was concerned and I knew I stood firm 

So much that I learned, you were green 

Needed self esteem but I was too firm 

Then ego crept right up on me 

And misdirected me 

From the real wealth I wanted to possess 

Now I'm walking 2 steps back 

A little less attack 

Please let me confess 

All I know is I know so little 

And that I know I know so well 

But I think if I could walk that middle 

I'd wipe the slate 

And try to start all over again 

Infatuation, renunciation, just intoxication 

Austerity without humility, one source of ruination 

And yes, there grew sincerity but what I didn't see 

Was something growing right by it's side 

Standing with a righteous twist 

Getting people pissed 

I was riddled with pride 

Maybe I was wrong 

Maybe I came on too strong 

And I know how I treated you 

But I couldn't see, so forgive me 

For thinking I was better than you 

I need a mirror to see what you can see 

We better get mirrors or we'll never know our real identity 

And it hurts so much to look right at yourself 

Yeah, it hurts the most, please let me confess
