Lyrics
Why would anybody wanna marry me?
Music is cheaper than therapy!
I can understand why you stare at me, because I know you and you don’t know me.
When are you gonna let me in?
I know you’re alone and you’ve always been.
I know that you know that you don’t love him.
I know that I don’t wanna be just friends.
It may sound strange, but I have not changed.
Same old me just a different age.
Same old book just a different page.
Same old song, just a different stage
Singin’…
I know you.
You feel alone in a crowded room.
You feel like nobody knows you, but I know what you’re going through.
I know time stopped on the day we met.
That’s probably as crazy as I will get.
I have not found my soulmate yet
But you had a glow that I won’t forget.
When I saw you alone by the windowsill,
The moment we spoke, the room stood still.
I told you I’m broke; I can be rebuilt.
There’s a hole in my soul that it can be filled.
But baby you don’t know…
I know you.
You feel alone in a crowded room.
You feel like nobody knows you, but I know what you’re going through.
I know you.
You feel alone in a crowded room.
You feel like nobody knows you, but I know, yeah I know, I know you.
Now, any girl I’ve actually, ever been attracted to either had a man an addiction or an attitude.
Please do not mistaken telling you the truth for being rude… honesty to me is better than money or eating food.
Yeah, I went and spit it like Kanye would’ve spit it.
Yeah, I probably bit it and I’m not afraid to admit it.
But his style is so with it and I’m so good at it and you know I fit it, that’s why they call me “Selkow to the”…
And I’m growing all alone into a joke and a wretch.
Listen up close baby, here goes the catch…
There’s no room left in my heart to stretch, she has been pushing me over the edge.
But baby you don’t know…
I know you.
You feel alone in a crowded room.
You feel like nobody knows you, but I know what you’re going through.
I know you.
You feel alone in a crowded room.
You feel like nobody knows you, but I know, yeah I know, I know you.
