I Know, I Know Lyrics

I wish cliches didn't exist and

No one felt a pressure to tell their

Friends repeated phrases like mantras

Follow your words with actions not with commas

I believed you when you said to me

You were there if I need somebody

I shouted for you 'cross the valley

Only echoes came back with your well wishes

I know I know

I've heard before

But these empty words

Never got me off the floor

Two cents really doesn't weigh that much

It flicks off the thumb with a light touch

And it hardly costs you anything

Cheap investing simply to get away

Draw your sword and cut into my heart

Take a stab and cut out the bad part

I don't need a surgeon or soldier

If you make a cut but can't get very far

You could tell me that time heals all wounds

I will hear, and though it all rings true

Sometimes words alone just cut into

Where the scar had started to form you
