He Don't Know You

You say you need excitement in your life

That I am just a sweater that you wear from time to time

Excitement leads to heartache leads to strife

While sweaters keep you warm against the coldness of the world

What do you get each time you say goodbye

When the indifference of tomorrow is the hatred of today

Should I break down or should I dare to try

When you're so quiet, so quiet, so God damn quiet

He don't know you like I know you

He can't see you like I do

Yet he don't want you like I want you

He don't need you like I do

I bet he's never known the ways of love

You say it doesn't matter anymore

The way I felt but never said, the way you said you felt

My feelings for you burden like a chore

Tomorrows always go too fast, but yesterday's too soon

What do you get each time you say goodbye

When the indifference of tomorrow is the hatred of today

Should I break down or should I dare to try

When you're so quiet, so quiet, so God damn quiet

He don't know you like I know you

He can't see you like I do

Yet he don't want you like I want you

He don't need you like I do

Yet he don't love you like I love you

He can't see you like I do

I bet he's never known the ways of love

I'll swear he's never known the ways of love
