Lyric

I thought you’d know

I thought you knew me

Well enough to hear

What I never said

I got hurt

By a rule

I only had

Inside my head

I still wish

You’d known

That’s the part

I can’t talk myself out of

I thought you’d know

At dinner

You say

“She’s been thinking

About leaving her job.”

I look at you

You keep talking

I change the subject

Outside

I finally say

“I wish you

Hadn’t told them.”

You stop

“I’m sorry.”

Then—

“I honestly thought

It was okay.”

“I know.”

I almost say

“I would’ve known.”

I don’t

You reach

For my hand

I let you

But I keep

Not saying it

I thought you’d know

I thought being

This close

Meant I could leave

Half of it unsaid

You missed it

And I hate

How much

I needed you

Not to

I still think

You should’ve known

I know

That isn’t fair

I thought you’d know

Back at my place

I ask

“Do I do that?”

“Do what?”

“Miss something

You think

I should know.”

You look at me

“Yeah.”

That comes

Too fast

“Like what?”

“You answer

For me sometimes.”

“I don’t.”

You give me a look

I stop

“Tonight?”

“Tonight.”

“When?”

“When they asked

About that restaurant.”

“You hate it.”

“I do.”

A pause

“That’s not

The point.”

I look at you

“No.”

I thought you’d know

And I thought

I knew you too

I knew your answer

So I gave it

For you

Then I hated

How fast

I started explaining

Why mine

Was different

Maybe it is

Maybe I just

Needed it to be

For another

Five minutes

I thought you’d know

And I thought I did

“Why didn’t you

Tell me?”

You look at me

“You really

Want to ask me that?”

I open my mouth

Then—

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

I look down

After a second

I ask

“Do you still think

I should’ve known?”

“Yeah.”

I nod

“You think

You should’ve known?”

“Yeah.”

Neither of us

Takes it back

[Final Chorus]

I thought you’d know

I still wish

You did

You got me wrong

I got you wrong

And somehow—

No

Not somehow

I’m still mad

You’re still annoyed

I still want you

Right here

Maybe that’s

The part

I never understood

You don’t have

To get me right

For me to want you

Next to me

I thought you’d know

I think I wanted

That to mean

You were

Just like me

After a while

You say

“You want me to go?”

“No.”

It comes out

Too fast

I look away

“I’m still annoyed.”

“I know.”

“Me too?”

“A little.”

“Fair.”

You stay

Where you are

A minute passes

Then I move

Closer
