[Verse 1]
I'd rather be cold than wrapped up in love
Can't seem to get it right, can't seem to get it right
Fill me up and still leave me a little dry
Love comes then cleans you out, love's got an enemy now

[Refrain]
How can I forget about the past?
So easily and start now again?

[Chorus]
How do you know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And he still made a mess of things
How do you know?

[Verse 2]
Oh it feels so good in the moment
But it's just the moment
That'll soon be over
Once my thoughts are sober
And I'll trade it all, love
Just to believe again
Looking for reasons why
It's never the right time
[Refrain] + [Chorus]
How do I forget about the past?
So easily and start again?

How do you know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And he still made a mess of things
How do you know?

[Bridge]
We don't understand his words until it hurts
Sometimes we're so blinded and always reminded
So the fear made me mess it up again
Maybe it was me, maybe it was him
But I just don't know
Don't know which way to go

[Chorus]
How do you know?
How do you know?
When you've given him everything
And you still made a mess of things
How do you know?
Know oh know
