Lyrics

Decode (Acoustic Version)

How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight all the time
Now, can I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides?
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are?
If you're a man at all
Well, I'll figure this one out
On my own (I'm screaming, "I love you so")
On my own (but my thoughts you can't decode)

Oh, how did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah hey
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We gone and made such fools, of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We gone and made such fools, of ourselves

Yeah, yeah, hey

How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah hey, yeah
Oh, how did we get here?
Well, you showed yourself

I think I know
I think I know

Oh, there is something, I see in you
It might kill me, but I want it to be true
