Lyrics

[00:35.78] You walked into my house last night
[00:38.83] I couldn't help but notice
[00:41.70] A light that was long gone still burning strong
[00:45.55] You were sitting
[00:46.91] Your fingers like fuses
[00:49.17] Your eyes were cinnamon
[00:54.31] You said you stand for every known abuse
[00:58.34] That was ever threatened to anyone but you
[01:03.59] And why should I know better by now
[01:06.79] When I'm old enough not to?
[01:09.96]
[01:12.07] While every line speaks the language of love
[01:16.69] It never held the meaning I was thinking of
[01:21.17] And I can't decide over right or wrong
[01:25.53] I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
[01:29.13]
[01:29.77] Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melodies
[01:34.20] It's little things like this that matter to me
[01:38.64] Others feel that you should stand
[01:40.77] For every known abuse to hand
[01:43.05] And all the things that they could never see
[01:45.72]
[01:47.93] You said you stood for every known abuse
[01:51.68] That was ever promised to anyone like you
[01:57.02] Don't you wish you knew better by now
[02:00.95] When you're old enough not to?
[02:03.95]
[02:06.05] When every line speaks the language of love
[02:10.58] It never held the meaning I was thinking of
[02:14.91] And I can't decide over right or wrong
[02:19.55] You left the feeling that I just do not belong
[02:23.35]
[02:24.59] (Do not belong, do not belong, do not belong)
[02:34.59]
[02:42.11] One drink too many
[02:43.66] And a joke gone too far
[02:45.86] I see a face drive like a stolen car
[02:50.21] Gets harder to hide
[02:52.06] When you're hitching your ride
[02:55.11] Harder to hide what you really saw
[02:58.86]
[03:00.03] Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse
[03:03.96] That I've ever seen my way through
[03:08.78] Don't I wish I knew better by now?
[03:12.63] Well I think I'm starting to
[03:15.86]
[03:17.86] When every line speaks the language of love
[03:22.64] It never held the meaning I was thinking of
[03:26.91] And I've lost the line between right or wrong
[03:31.34] I just want to find the place where I belong
[03:35.61]
[03:53.73] Why should you know better by now
[03:57.14] When you're old enough not to?
[04:02.87] I wish I knew better by now
[04:06.19] When I'm old enough not to
[04:21.46]
