Before I Know

[Intro: Spoken]
Look, we both already know
Might as well just come clean now
Save us the heartache

[Chorus]
Please do something on your own
She needs to say before I know, before I know
So won't you make a move, baby?
These beams I see on your face
When you speak to me, oh honey, I know
(Something just ain't right)
Before I know
Now tell me on your own, baby

[Verse]
The world ain't just full of liars
At least I like to believe that we're all decent, all decent
Oh baby
I wanna believe that you're not breathing fire
But the truth of the matter is so easy to see
You can't deceive me, so just tell me
Where were you Friday when I was on stage?
"Doing nothing?"
Kinda hard not to think you were holding him
Or maybe I'm just a road in the pieces
At least then you wouldn't have to face me with decency
'Cause you're so decent
Just tell me

[Chorus]
Please do something on your own
She needs to say before I know, before I know
So won't you make a move, baby?
These beams I see on your face
When you speak to me, oh honey, I know
(Something just ain't right)
Before I know
Now tell me on your own, baby

[Verse]
Do I have to find out the hard way now?
Where ever the truth lies, I'll break the walls down
Even though it might hurt me, I hate secrecy
Oh baby
I like to believe that you're not on the way down
But the truth of the matter is you're taking a piece of me
Oh, with you, so just tell me
How come you don't realise what you're doing here?
It's all about fair
I wanna hear you talk honestly
Or maybe I'm just a road in the pieces
At least then you wouldn't have to face me with decency
'Cause you're so decent

[Chorus]
Please do something on your own
She needs to say before I know, before I know
So won't you make a move, baby?
These things I see on your face
When you speak to me, oh honey, I know
(Something just ain't right)
Before I know
Now tell me on your own, baby
