How've you been?
Can i come in?
Just came to get my things, and then i guess i'm leaving
If i can say, would you like to hear?
And whisper in your ear, it's only temporary
I've been taking you for granted
And i thought you feel the same as me
It's time that i come clean
But for now can we, just both pretend to sleep
Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need
What goes around, don't come around
You should know me by now
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me by now
Our talk is small, i'm seven inches tall
And you should keep the apartment
So here's my keys, changed all the bills
We are only built to spill, and wonder where the heart went
And you've been taking me for granted
And i thought you feel the same as me
It's time that i come clean
But for now can we, just both pretend to sleep
Sometimes the one you want, is not the one you need
What goes around, don't come around
You should know me by now
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me by now
I know that i remember you, i think that you remember me too
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one's lost?
I know you got to feel the change
It just get's worse when it stays the same
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one is so lost?
By now!
Oh yeah
Sometimes the one you want, is not the one you need
What goes around, don't come around
But don't you know me by now?
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me by now
