Alan Menken & Glenn Slater
Everything I Ever Thought I Knew
I thought I was an outcast
I thought I stood alone
A rogue, a thief, a joker
No place to call my own

I thought no one could love me
And how could I have known
I was wrong
Oh, so wrong

Then I thought I found it
A dream that I could share
I thought I was so lucky
It almost wasn't fair

I thought I knew my purpose
I thought that I knew where
I belong
But I was wrong

Everything I ever thought I knew
Where I've been
Where I'm going

Everything I counted on turned out to be untrue
Could've guessed
Should've known
Now I do

Everything I've yearned for
Everything I planned
All my sweetest memories were castles made of sand

Now that it's all crumbling
Help me understand
If none of it was really me then who am I supposed to be?

And everything I ever thought I knew
Every hope
Every feeling

Love and trust and happiness
They're done, they're gone, they're through

And what's left
Me alone
Once again
Should've known

Now I do

I guess my life meant nothing
I guess it was a sham
I guess I'm someone else now
I wonder who I am
