Don't make me read your mind
You should know me better than that
It takes me too much time
You should know me better than that
You're not that much like me
You should know me better than that
We have different enemies
You should know me better than that

I should leave it alone but you're not right
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Can't you write it on the wall?
You should know me better than that
There's no room to write it all
You should know me better than that
Can you turn the TV down?
You should know me better than that
There's too much crying in the sound
I should know you better than that

I should leave it alone but you're not right
I should leave it alone but you're not right
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind

Think about something so much
You should know me better than that
Start to slide out of touch
You should know me better than that
Tell yourself it's only noise
You should know me better than that
Learn to appreciate the void
You should know me better than that

I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind

I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind

    Official lyrics from album sleeve:

    Don't make me read your mind, you should know me better than that. It takes me too much time, you should know me better than that. You're not that much like me, you should know me better than that. We have different enemies, you should know me better than that. I should leave it alone but you're not right. I should leave it alone but you're not right.

    Can't you write it on the wall? You should know me better than that. There's no room to write it all, you should know me better than that. Can you turn the TV down? You should know me better than that. There's too much crying in the sound, I should know you better than that. I should leave it alone but you're not right. I should leave it alone but you're not right.

    I should live in salt for leaving you behind.

    Think about something so much, you should know me better than that. Start to slide outta touch, you should know me better than that. Tell yourself it's only noise. You should know me better than that. Learn to appreciate the void. You should know me better than that.

    I should live in salt for leaving you behind.
