The More You Know

I'm wearing the black dress That keeps me honest Wading through the deep end In a well-worn promise Consensual obligation On a one-way street Built-in washer, dryer I'm on spin, cycle, repeat The more you know, the harder you fall Into little pieces, baby The more you know, the more you know Don't tell me again If it's so easy Tie up our loose ends If it's so easy Well, let's still be friends If it's so easy No sense in relocating We can repaint ourselves Tell everybody we are We are somebody else Lipstick on your pillow Where I now lay my head When these walls start talking, I see The common thread The more you know, the lower you crawl Back to the reasons you're leaving The more you know, the more you know Lately, I'm seeing a trend If it's easy Why's it always, talk, talking again? If it's so easy Why the diabolical plan? If it's so easy The way your broken heart mends If it's so easy (Yeah) Well, we're gonna be friends 'Cause it's so easy
