I Know

So be it, I'm your crowbar If that's what I am, so far Until you get out of this mess And I will pretend That I don't know of your sins Until you are ready to confess But all the time, all the time I'll know, I'll know And you can use my skin to bury secrets in And I will settle you down And at my own suggestion I will ask no questions While I do my thing in the background But all the time, all the time I'll know, I'll know Baby, I can't help you out While she's still around So for the time being, I'm being patient And amidst this bitterness If you'll just consider this Even if it don't make sense all the time Give it time And when the crowd becomes your burden And you've early closed your curtains I'll wait by the backstage door While you try to find the lines to speak your mind And pry it open, hoping for an encore And if it gets too late for me to wait For you to find you love me, and tell me so It's okay Don't need to say it
