Lyrics I Know You By Heart - Greg X. Volz

I Know You By Heart

Life’s full of things that seem to leave few choices
You learn a lot just by necessity
You see that good can speak with many voices
With many words, you hide the faults you see
You open up when you think there’s safety
You run away when the danger is clear
And people judge you by what circumstances they hear… but I know you better
'Cause I know you by heart, I know you by heart
Yes, I know you by heart
I know you better than you know yourself
You have a memory that light-speeds backwards
To every pain and pleasure in your heart
No one can camouflage their feelings better;
For your survival, you have learned the art
You flash those eyes — they see a beast inside you
You sympathise — they glimpse a shining saint
You show a side for the effect that you calculate…
But I know you better
'Cause I know you by heart, I know you by heart
Yes, I know you by heart
I know you better than you know yourself
I know you by heart
I know you by heart
I know you by heart, (ooh, yeah)
I know you by heart
Know you by heart, (and I know you better)
Yes, I know you by heart, (well, I know you, well, I know you)
I know you by heart
Yes, I know you by heart
I know you by heart, (I done know you by heart)
Know you by heart
I know you by heart
