A Common Story (I Know)

You came to me with your heart so heavy and your head filled up ready to be done
Sat me down with your book wide open and you begged me not to run away from all that you'd become

Oh you gotta know your strength you gotta come out fighting
Till then keep your head on straight and don't hold back your crying

Cause I know I know I know
I know I know
All I had to say was
I know I know I know
I know I know

The room gets loud and your eyes are on me with your lips curled up to a 58
For you I'd fight and for you I'd sing but you're a puppet on a string no matter what you really think

I know that he's weak you know you'd do so much without him
He's an abusive heartbreak and you just tolerate him
Just because he's all you know why don't you just walk away

I know I know I know
I know I know
All you ever said was
I know I know I know
I know I know

The crime chauffeur ends up just as guilty as the coward man with the mask and gun
Take take take all that you can from me then you take some more right before I run
Tiptoe dance so he won't get angry but who will give you more
Is it that life sucking whore

Come on where's your spine, oh no, looks like you're no good to me
Both my eyes have knives, so cold, can it, your story's boring
You didn't fight it, never denied it, and worst of all you never did a single thing about it you said

I know I know I know
I know I know
All you ever said was
I know I know I know
I know I know
