lyrics

If you know me so well
Then why don’t you have the words
To tell me that I’m strong enough, I’m good enough
So much better than I think
When I needed to hear them

I thought you knew me so well
But instead you talk behind my back
to tell them about how wrong I am
How weak I am
But I’m better than you think
& I wish I didn’t hear about it

You’re singing words
That I do not understand
I’m hopeful to forgive
And I’ll learn to forget
I could let you hang around
In my mind for a while
If what we had wasn’t just fake friends

If you know me so well
Then why did you have the courage to tell me
That I’m not there yet
Oh far from it
What you pay is what you get
You said you meant it well

You’re singing words
I do not understand
I’m hopeful to forgive
And I’ll learn to forget
I could let you hang around
In my mind for a while

If what we had
Is hope for us
We’ll toast to us
Here’s to real friends

There's hope for us
We’ll toast to us
Here’s to real friends

You’re singing words
I do not understand
I’m hopeful to forgive
And I’ll learn to forget
I could let you hang around
In my mind for a while
If what we had wasn't just fake friends
