i wasn t thinking when i turned and said to you the love i give to you is sincere and true oh i wasn t myself when i led you through the door the world was flattened i was lying on the floor oh i feel most human when i m in my own head oh i feel most steady when my thoughts aren t fed by you why do you act like you know me so well when i don t even know myself why do you act like you know me so well when you barely even touched the shell when you barely even touched the shell your words hit me like a feather then sink like a stone and i pushed you away with silence alone i m pushing you away with silence alone because i have never learned how to speak for myself and i never will learn to envy that in you why do you act like you know me so well when i don t even know myself why do you act like you know me so well when you barely even touched the shell oh why do you act like you know me so well oh why do you act like you know me so well oh why do you act like you know me so well when you don t even know yourself oh why do you act like you know me so well when you barely even touched the shell
