Rachael Yamagata - Known For Years

 
0
Copied!
I'm so good at running away
You'd think I'd grown up on a stage(?)
And you're so good at leading them on
Who am I to bring you down?

I wonder why I'm still hanging around
Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
And I've known for years that we'd get here
And It'd be a shame to make believe
It's better to leave

It's so cruel the way I recall
I ran out of lies to take it all
And I question still whether I am just afraid
But who are they to stand in my way?
I wonder if I just soldier the crown
Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And It'd be a shame to make believe

It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
It'd be a shame to make believe its better, better, better, better to leave

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And It'd be a shame, it'd be a shame, shame oh lord

It'd be a shame to make believe
It'd be a shame to make believe
Oh it's better to leave
