I know what you did
I know
So I'ma let you taste her
I ain't washing my sins
I ain't washing my sins

Now we're lying about the nights
Hiding it all behind the smiles
Take a look at what you did
You probably thought that you'd break my heart
You probably thought that you'd make me cry
But baby it's okay
I swear it's okay

'Cause I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
I know everything

Now these tops don't twist like they did before
Tried to keep you out
And you are done
But baby it don't hurt
Oh, like you thought it would
The more of you the merrier

Now we're lying about the nights
Hiding it all behind the smiles
Take a look at what you did, hey
You probably thought that you'd break my heart
You probably thought that you'd make me cry
Baby it's okay
It's okay

I know everything
I know everything
I know everything
I know everything

    The more of you the merrier

    Now we're lying about the nights

    General Comment:I don't know why, but this song breaks the fuck out of my heart.

    "You probably thought that break my heart.
    You probably thought that you make me cry.
    But baby it's okay,
    I swear it's okay.
    'Cause I know everything"

    The message of the song is obvious. But I almost feel like the speaker of the song has to redeem himself by cheating on her because she cheated on him. Then he makes me think about the vicious cycle, and how love means nothing to anyone these days. Its just one big game of trickery.

    General Comment:its about dating a girl, he finds out she is dating other ppl. Instead of getting rid of her he starts dating other ppl too.

    When he's with her he knows that they both have their own secrets. They can smile, but they know better.

    General Comment:I think it's
    "Now these tongues don't twist like they did before.
    Tried to keep you up"
    Would seem to make more sense that way. Seems to be about taking vengeance against a cheat. This song and the entire album blew me away!
