The First Single (You Know Me) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't stand to think about a heart so big it hurts like hell
Oh my God, I gave my best but for three whole years to end like this
Well, do you want to fall apart? I can't stop if you can't start
Do you want to fall apart? I could if you can try to fix what I've undone
'Cause I hate what I've become
[Chorus]
You know me or you think you do you, you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah, something, I've just got to get myself over me
[Verse 2]
I could stand to do without all the people I have left behind
What's the point in going 'round when it's a straight line baby, a straight line down
So let's make a list of who we need and it's not much, if anything
Let's make a list of who we need and we'll throw it away cause we don't need anyone
No, we don't need anyone
[Chorus]
You know me or you think you do, you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah, something, I've just got to get myself over me
And I hate what I've become
[Bridge]
You know the night life is just not for me
'Cause all you really need are a few good friends
I don't want to go out and be on my own
You know they started something I can't stand
You leave for the city, well, count me out
'Cause all this time is wasted on, well, everything I've done
[Chorus]
You know me or you think you do you, you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah, something, I've just got to get myself over me
You know me or you think you do you, you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something
Yeah, something, I've just got to get myself over me, yeah
Over me, yeah, over me
