You Know So Well - Sondre Lerche

Lerche Sondre

Use every chance you've been given


she replied after several days


It's no good to be perfect


You know so well things are easy to tell


There is one thing I know


it goes like this


It's that when I lose my sleep it's you I miss





I have told you this before


and my transparent mind


won't cover see-through hearts


I'll be straight with you now


Now I'm not what you want


just like the rest


and you feel like you're subject to a test


But if there's one thing I know it's this


When I lose my sleep it's you I miss





You sleep all night


you know you lie awake


Tell me, yeah


And time is running out


and you know so well


it may never be





Use every chance you've been given


she is told, but it doesn't make her smile


She has no need to be perfect


She knows too well


things are easy to tell


I have said what I thought you should know


but you never seem to recognize my face
