Lyrics

Know These Things: Shouldn't You

You stung, as if you knew I'd sting right there

And you shouldn't know these things about me

Abused as if your pain would quench my fear

How could you know these things about me

You shouldn't know these things

And be this awfully well in tune

Go as if not aware be like those others that assume

You knew and you still managed to find my stare

And you shouldn't know these things about me

You shouldn't know these things about me

And be this awfully well in tune

Go as if not aware

Go on and be those that presume

That they could know these things about me

Be as if not aware

Be mystified as this appears

Lay still, be as my will

And promise that you'll wait to kill

And whisper that you know these things

Tell me you know these things

Show me you know these things

About me
