What Did We Know?

It's been so long since we began
It seems so long ago
That in the name of loyalty
We started on our own
Answering the call of a house we once called home
We knew that we were right
What did we know?

We swore that we understood this wasn't a game
But somehow we found ourselves fanning the flames
Those who cautioned and abandoned us, they were the same
I saw them turn away

It's easy to look back and say what we'd do
If only we'd waited, if only we knew
Nothing in this world could make up for what we'd lose
The price we had to pay

Oh, what did we know?
We gambled an unknown price
I don't know where I'm going, but I cannot stay here
The lights have gone out and it's over

Though we could ask ourselves "what have we done?"
Maybe our regrets are best left unsung
Wishing won't absolve us of all that we have won
And what scares me more than anything

If we could choose the past
We'd probably choose the same

Oh, what did we know?
We gambled an unknown price
I don't know where I'm going, but I cannot stay here
The fires burned out and it's over

What happened to our guiding light?
When did the dream decay?
It's too cold out in the night
When starlight melts away

We swore that we understood this wasn't a game
But somehow we found ourselves fanning the flames
What we have lost we can never regain
And I'm sorry

Oh, what did we know?
We gambled an unknown price
I don't know where I'm going, but I cannot stay here
There's nothing left here now it's over

Oh, what did we know?
We gambled an unknown price
I don't know where I'm going, but I cannot stay here
No life in your eyes. It's all over
