"Better Than I Know Myself" lyrics

"Better Than I Know Myself"

Don't you know me?

I can't read you like a magazine
Can't even see you right in front of me talking
Your lips are moving, I don't hear a thing
No you're not getting through to me

And I know you'd rather turn the other cheek
But you hit me up a thousand times a week
Scared to tell you that I don't want you to leave
Cause I know you could
Yeah I know you could

This can't be right, I'm scared and I
Need someone to calm me
I'll close my eyes till you arrive
And take me how you want me
Don't you know me
Better than I know me
Don't you know me
Better than I know myself

I can't even hold a flame to it
Struggling to find a name to call it
Wonder if I'm being obvious
Maybe I'm acting out I wish

That you'd never go and turn the other cheek
You used to hit me up a thousand times a week
Scared to tell you that I don't want you to leave
Cause I know you could
Yeah, oh I know you could

This can't be right, I'm scared and I
Need someone to calm me
I'll close my eyes till you arrive
And take me how you want me
Don't you know me
Better than I know me
Don't you know me
Better than I know myself

Don't you know me?

This can't be right, I'm scared and I
Need someone to calm me
I'll close my eyes till you arrive
And take me how you want me
Don't you know me
Better than I know me
Don't you know me
Better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Better than I know myself

Don't you know me?
