You Should Know

{clean electric guitar arpeggios,

quiet

acoustic

piano chord entry, slow steady drum stick clicks}

I stood there in the kitchen door

Waiting for you to look my way

You were scrolling through your phone Like it was just another day

I had something sitting heavy

Right behind my teeth But I figured if you loved me You

would see it underneath

You should know

by now

After all this time you should know

You should know

by now

Why do I still have to show

You asked me what was wrong again

I said nothing, like I always do

Then I spent the evening angry At a question I refused to

answer too

I wanted you to read the silence Like a book you'd memorized

But you're not a mind reader baby And I never gave you

lines (ooh)

You should know

by now

After all this time you should know

You should know

by now

Why do I still have to show

Maybe knowing isn't something love just does

Maybe knowing takes the words I've been afraid of

You can't find what I keep hiding

And that's not your fault,

it's mine I should let you know

by now

After all this time I should show

I should let you know

by now

Love is not a thing you're born to know

{clean electric guitar fading out,

delicate piano chords, slow brushed drum beat slowing down

to

stop}
