I know you, I want to
Please don't leave, marry me
I know why, in your eyes
Can you see, marry me

Ten times I sat back down
Eloquence in the mirror, it's all around
This is so sad to say, it happens everyday
You're two steps away, come over and play
So I asked you twice like you begged me to
I locked the door even though they knew
I liked the way that you used to smile
I liked the way that we'd walk for miles

These are the hardest times
Everything that you said is on my mind
Tell me how to sleep when I still see
The day you walked in the door and looked at me
You smiled like a girl that I once knew
Everything that we did was all for you
I wanna know what it means to need somebody
But it looks like we were never meant to be

Cause everything was right and everything was wrong
Yeah I'm sitting so happy now until it's gone
These are the things that are meant to be
And you're the only one that I don't believe
Cause everyday you smile and everyday you lie
And now I'm inside out, you never wonder why
Just tell me everything doesn't have to be
And tell me why I'm sad when you're kissing me

I know you, I want to
Please don't leave, marry me
I know why, in your eyes
Can you see, marry me

Everything was right and everything was wrong
Only six months ago you know I wrote this song
It was all about all these happy things
But I rewrote the words more honestly
Cause I can't decide what I wanna do
Should I call you up or should I just hate you
I'm on the floor pressed against the tile
But I'll be okay; I'll force myself to smile

She's sad and I can see
Maybe I should show some sympathy
But I frown when her cell telephone rings
Cause I like the pain that a smile can bring
It's not right, but I'm fiend'n for it too
You know the words that I speak may not be true
Pretend that you think that I'm unique
Yeah I smile once again and I kiss your cheek

Cause everything was right and everything was wrong
Yeah I'm sitting so happy now until it's gone
These are the things that are meant to be
And you're the only one that I don't believe
Cause everyday you smile and everyday you lie
And now I'm inside out, you never wonder why
Just tell me everything doesn't have to be
And tell me why I'm sad when you're kissing me

I know you, I want to
Please don't leave, marry me
I know why, in your eyes
Can you see, marry me
