I Barely Knew Lyrics by Deana Carter

Southern Way of Life

2013

I’m standing in the door with a suitcase in my hand
Looking at the floor, still trying to understand
How one split second, just a moment in time
Can rattle my faith and the meaning of life
How do I face this world without you
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It’s hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
I’m sitting on a plane like a million times before
Nothing is the same and it’s time to close the door
There’s no way out of the state I’m in
We can’t go back to where we’ve been
Without you I’ve got so much to lose
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It’s hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
People tell you how it’s gonna be
But I never found it out till it was happening to me
I thought about the pain of losing you
Until today, I barely knew
It’s hard to see a blessing coming true
I rarely do, I barely knew
Why can't I see a blessing coming true
I never do, I barely knew
