Lyrics
If You Didn't Want To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So if you wanted to know if it happened before:
I'd hate to be honest; you'd hate to be sure
And if you wanted to know that it happened before:
On the kitchen counter or the living room floor
And if you wanted to know, what did you want to hear?
The simple answer, or the one that's sincere?
If you wanted to know if it's better before:
If you didn't want to know, why'd you ask me?
You should have known what I was going to say.
And if you didn't want to know that I actually had to be honest,
Then I'll be on my way.
And if you wanted to guess how we got in this mess:
You think you're a victim, I think you're obsessed.
And if you wanted to guess how we got in this mess:
The more that you lecture, the more we digress.
You know, I'll say it again, as if you didn't hear:
The words and motives were perfectly clear.
And if you wanted to know if it's better before...
But if you didn't want to know, why'd you ask me?
You should have known what I was going to say.
And if you didn't want to know that I actually had to be honest,
Then I'll be on my way.
If it seemed like an easy answer
It's 'cause I knew what I wanted to say
If you weren't prepared for the truth,
Then how dare you to tell me how you wanted this game to be played?
If every reaction has an opposite reaction,
What'd you think would happen?
What'd you think was gonna happen?
If you wanted to hear what you wanted to hear,
A little white lie I can whisper into your ear
But if I lie, then I'll do it out loud,
Put a banner on a plane flying over a crowd
If you didn't want to know, why'd you ask me?
You should have known what I was going to say.
And if every reaction has an opposite reaction,
What'd you think would happen?
What'd you think was gonna happen?
