Lyrics Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata

Known For Years

I'm so good at running away

You'd think I'd grown up on a train

And you're so good at leading them on

Who am I to bring you down?

I wonder why I'm still hanging around

Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing

And I've known for years that we'd get here

And it'd be a shame to make believe... it's better to leave

And it's so cruel, the way I recall

I ran out of lies to take it all

My questions tell whether I am just afraid

But who are they to stand in my way?

I wonder if I just soldier the crown

Was it the sound?

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And it'd be a shame to make believe...

It'd be a shame to make believe it's better to leave

It'd be a shame to make believe it's better to leave

It'd be a shame to make believe its better, better, better, better to leave

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And I can't make believe that we're not seeing the same thing

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here

And it'd be a shame

It'd be a shame, shame

It'd be a shame to make believe

It'd be a shame to make believe

Oh it's better to leave
