I Know So Little (So Well) — текст песни (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
