Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How can I decide what's right

When you're clouding up my mind?

I can't win your losing fight all the time

[Verse 2]

Nor can I ever own what's mine

When you're always taking sides?

But you won't take away my pride

[PreChorus]

No, not this time

Not this time

[Chorus]

How did we get here?

Well, I used to know you so well

But how did we get here?

Well, I think I know

[Verse 3]

The truth is hiding in your eyes

And it's hanging on your tongue

Just boiling in my blood

But you think that I can't see

What kind of man that you are

If you're a man at all

Well, I will figure this one out on my own (I'm screaming, I love you so)

On my own (But my thoughts, you can't decode)

[Chorus]

How did we get here?

Well, I used to know you so well, yeah

How did we get here?

Well, I think I know

[Bridge]

Do you see what we've done?

We've gone and made such fools of ourselves

Do you see what we've done?

We've gone and made such fools of ourselves

[Chorus]

How did we get here?

Well, I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah

Well, how did we get here?

Well, I used to know you so well

[Outro]

I think I know

I think I know

Ooh, there is something

I see in you

It might kill me

But I want it to be true
