I Know It Oh So Well
[Verse 1]
I got home again, I watched you float away
I would like to, but can't seem to ever say
If you told me, would I show you what to do
And I could tell
Because I know myself
I know it oh so well
[Verse 2]
I might come and go
Till I can feel you near
I don't wish this on your friend, but was I clear?
How's it possible to be there for so long and be so feared?
[Verse 3]
Because I know myself, it's gotten so severe
Is the light ahead?
Is the night ahead?
We need a creed
[Verse 4]
Is the light ahead?
Is the light ahead?
Enough for two?
[Verse 5]
Look the other way
Can't find it, but I try
Senses overloaded, pretty sure they're fried
Thought I picked it up, but it's nowhere around
My hands are tied
Because I know myself
I'm pretty sure I'm high
[Verse 6]
Is the light ahead?
Is the night ahead?
What to do?
[Verse 7]
Is the light ahead?
Is the light ahead?
Enough for you?
[Verse 8]
Because I've come this far without it
But I can't go on without it
Tell me one less thing about it
Then I could leave
[Verse 9]
Every day it's getting harder
It's a life I need started
Try to grab, it's getting farther away from me
[Verse 10]
I got sick and you got sick of all my pain
I got sick of hoping you would understand
There's a side I hid from people
Kind of people I don't know
[Verse 11]
I don't know the end
I don't want you to tell
Because I know myself
I know it oh so well
