Bloc Party - You Should Know the Truth Lyrics

Was it something that you felt? (Not certain of it)
Was it something that you meant? (Not wrong about it)
Do you remember who you were before?
I picked you up, on West forty-four

You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you

I was only playing nice ('cause I wanted something)
I was only listening (I was on the mend then)
Giving your light to nameless boys
Giving that light to anyone

You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you
You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you

Was I shady and obscene?
Was it the worst it had ever been?
Do you remember what you had to do
Before I saw something in you?

From the start, I made it clear
I could only try to be sincere
And if that failed I would keep my word
Oh, what's wrong with being kept, my love?

You deserve the truth, You deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, You deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, You deserve the truth, you
You deserve the truth, You deserve the truth, you, you
