You Should Know

I wasn't gonna say anything

I figured you'd know

You always knew me well enough To know when something changed

I stopped answering your questions I stopped asking you to stay

I thought maybe you'd notice If I just walked away

But you didn't

So...

okay

You want me to tell you?

It wasn't the night you came home late It wasn't even what

you said

It was the way you looked right through me

While you were standing by the bed

And I kept waiting for you to notice

That I wasn't really there

But you kissed me like nothing happened And turned over like you

didn't care That's what you did

You made me feel alone With somebody lying next to me

You made me question everything

I thought you saw in me And I hate that I'm explaining

What you should have understood

I shouldn't have to tell you

But I need you to know you

should (mmm-hmm)

And there were all those little things That you probably forgot

The promises you made so easily

Then acted like you hadn't

You stopped reaching for my hand

When we walked into a room

Stopped looking at me like you wanted me Stopped asking where I'd

been

And I noticed

I noticed every single time

I told myself I'd never say this I'd never give you that

much power But here I am...

Still trying to make you understand

You made me feel alone With somebody lying next to me

You made me question everything

I thought you saw in me And I hate that I'm explaining

What you should have understood

I shouldn't have to tell you

But I need you to know you

should

I didn't need perfect I didn't need some movie kind of love

I just

needed you to look at me

And know when I was hurting

I needed you to hear the silence I needed you to ask

me why

I needed you to fight for me Before I got tired of

trying

And the worst part is...

I still wanted you to (ohhh)

You made me feel alone With somebody I still wanted to love

And I hate that I'm still standing here

Trying to explain enough

Because I told myself I'm stronger

I told myself I'm finally done But if I'm being honest with

you...

I'm not I'm not

I still wish

you'd come closer

I still wish you'd say my name

I still wish you'd tell me You know what you did And

I hate that I have to tell you

I hate that I still want you to understand

I hate that...

I still want you
