Concept Version=
I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found
I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly, put on show
A conquest on display
Who would have thought his love could be so good
Not me, not me
My secrets and my passions understood
Not me, not me
Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day
Not me, not me
I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there
Who would have thought his love could be so good
Not me, not me
My secrets and my passions understood
Not me, not me
Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day
Not me, not me
Who would have thought his love could be so good
Not me, not me
My secrets and my passions understood
Not me, not me
Who would have guesses he'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day
Not me, not me
Not me, not me

Radames: I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found
Mereb: Oh No
Radames: I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly
Put on show
My conquests on display
(Mereb: I can't believe He's changing)
And who'd have thought that (Mereb: Oh, no)
Confidence could die?
Not me, Not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie
Not me, Not me
And who'd have guessed
I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say (Mereb: This can never be)
Not me, not me
Mereb: He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed
Aida: I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
Amneris: An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there
Aida and Amneris: And who'd have thought
That love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me
Who'd have guessed he'd
Throw his world away
To be with someone til his dying day
Not me, not me
Radames, Amneris, Aida: And who'd have thought that love
Could be so good
Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)
My/his secrets &
My/his passions understood
Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)
Who'd have guessed
I'd/ he throw My/his world away
To be with someone til my/his dying day
Not me/not me (Mereb: This can never be)
