Who Knew (By Pink)

The song 'Who Knew' as performed by Savannah Outen is a cover of the original by Pink. The lyrics express a deep sense of loss and the unexpected nature of change in relationships. The opening lines set a tone of trust and promise, as the narrator reflects on a time when they believed in the assurances given by someone close to them. The repetition of 'That's right' reinforces the strength of that belief and the commitment they felt was mutual.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship has ended, and the permanence that was once promised ('forever and ever') has been broken. The phrase 'Who knew' acts as a poignant refrain throughout the song, highlighting the shock and disbelief that accompany the realization that what was once thought to be unbreakable has indeed ended. The narrator grapples with the pain of hindsight, wishing they could have appreciated their time together more fully ('count your blessings now') before it was too late.

The latter part of the song delves into the enduring impact of the lost relationship. The narrator holds onto the memories ('I'll keep you locked in my head') and expresses a yearning for reunion ('Until we meet again'). The mention of dreams ('You visit me in my sleep') suggests that the person they've lost continues to be a significant presence in their life, even if only in memory. The repeated use of 'my darling' emphasizes the affection and longing that remain, despite the passage of time and the pain of separation.
