I don't know

I don't know
I don't know anything

I thought I knew once but I know nothing at all
I thought I loved once but I can't recall
I thought I had all the time in the world
I looked around, I'm no longer a little girl

I had dreams that I believed could come true
I got disillusioned, I don't know what to do
I used to have causes worthy of a fight
Now I think twice, and don't know what's right

I'm not sure anymore which direction to take
I' so tired of making so many mistakes
Now I question all of my values
And I think before I choose

I worry about what I might regret
and what I have learned I soon forget
is it all about what anyone knows
for whatever comes, surely goes
