"I Know Too Much" lyrics

"I Know Too Much"

Turning on the lights
Let two more shadows fall in line
And I was opening one eye
When I was told to keep them shut

I listen to the signs
Without the applause
They're saying that it's gone
Scrolling past the violence
I empty out my thoughts
Now I wanna turn to God

Sent away my demons
But they keep coming back
A little of myself but not too much of it
'Cause I gotta shape the past
And when I think about the times the weight was on me, I was good
Forgot how to love

'Cause I know too much
I know too much
I know too much
I know too much

That's why I turned back to the green
Purest place I've ever been
And even when the food is failing
There's too much I can't unsee

I'm the bad guy in my story
I've been stealing all the hearts
Just to feed my own
And I'm a little baby Stalmine
Push the air right out of me
But I was missing all along

Why am I so ashamed to
Run away from pain?
You know this time I've really seen both sides now
And I'm carrying that weight
I'm slipping in and out of rooms
Just like a ghost, oh
But I never stay too long (Someday they'll figure me out)

I can't take back your touch (Take back your touch)
Forgot how to love (Forgot how to love)
'Cause I know too much

I don't owe anybody anything
I think I deserve the space
I keep your secrets, they are safe with me
But I will see you again

I don't owe anybody anything
I think I deserve the space
I keep your secrets, they are safe with me
And I will see you again

Why am I so ashamed to
Run away from pain?
You know this time I've really seen both sides now
And I'm carrying that weight
I'm slipping in and out of rooms
Just like a ghost, oh
But I never stay too long (Someday they'll figure me out)

I can't take back your touch (Take back your touch)
Forgot how to love (Forgot how to love)
'Cause I know too much (I know too much)
