I wasn't thinkin' when I turned and said to you
The love I give is sincere and true
Oh, I wasn't myself when I led you through the door
The world was flat, and I was lyin' on the floor
Oh, I feel most human when I'm in my own head
And I feel most steady when my thoughts aren't fed by you

Why do you act like you know me so well
When I don't even know myself?
Why do you act like you know me so well
When you've barely even touched the shell?
When you've barely even touched the shell?

Your words hit me like a feather, then sink like a stone
And I pushed you away with silence alone
I'm pushing you away with silence alone
Because I have never learned how to speak for myself
And I never will learn to envy that in you

Why do you act like you know me so well
When I don't even know myself?
Why do you act like you know me so well
When you've barely even touched the shell?
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?
(When I don't even know myself?)
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well?
(When you've barely even touched the shell?)

Oh, why do you act like you know me so well
When you don't even know yourself?
Oh, why do you act like you know me so well
When you've barely even touched the shell?
