Shell

[Verse 1]

I wasn't thinkin' when I turned and said to you

"The love I give is sincere and true"

Oh, I wasn't myself when I led you through the door

The world was flat, and I was lyin' on the floor

Oh, I feel most human when I'm in my own head

And I feel most steady when my thoughts aren't fed by you

[Chorus]

Why do you act like you know me so well

When I don't even know myself?

Why do you act like you know me so well

When you've barely even touched the shell?

When you've barely even touched the shell?

[Verse 2]

Your words hit me like a feather, then sink like a stone

And I pushed you away with silence alone

I'm pushing you away with silence alone

Because I have never learned how to speak for myself

And I never will learn to envy that in you

[Chorus]

Why do you act like you know me so well

When I don't even know myself?

Why do you act like you know me so well

When you've barely even touched the shell?

Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?

(When I don't even know myself?)

Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?

(When you've barely even touched the shell?)

Oh, why do you act like you know me so well

When you don't even know yourself?

Oh, why do you act like you know me so well

When you've barely even touched the shell?
