How can I decide what's right When you're clouding up my mind? I can't win your losing fight All the time Not gonna ever own what's mine When you're always taking sides But you won't take away my pride No, not this time Not this time How did we get here? When I used to know you so well How did we get here? Well, I think I know how The truth is hiding in your eyes And it's hanging on your tongue Just boiling in my blood But you think that I can't see What kind of man that you are If you're a man at all Well, I will figure this one out On my own (I'm screaming, "I love you so") On my own (My thoughts you can't decode) How did we get here? When I used to know you so well, yeah How did we get here? Well, I think I know how Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools Of ourselves Do you see what we've done? We've gone and made such fools Of ourselves How did we get here? When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah Well, how did we get here? When I used to know you so well. I think I know I think I know There is something I see in you It might kill me But I want it to be true
