[Verse 1]


Don't make me read your mind
       
You should know me better than that

It takes me too much time
       
You should know me better than that

You're not that much like me
       
You should know me better than that

We have different enemies
       
You should know me better than that


[Bridge]

                                     
I should leave it alone but you're not right
                                     
I should leave it alone but you're not right


[Verse 2]


Can't you write it on the wall?
        
You should know me better than that

There's no room to write it all
        
You should know me better than that

Can you turn the TV down?
        
You should know me better than that

There's too much crying in the sound
     
I should know you better than that


[Bridge]

                                     
I should leave it alone but you're not right
                                     
I should leave it alone but you're not right


[Chorus]

                                            
I should live in salt for leaving you behind   
               
     Behind       Ohhhhh


[Verse 3]


Think about something so much
        
You should know me better than that
 
Start to slide out of touch
        
You should know me better than that

Tell yourself it's all you know
        
You should know me better than that

Learn to appreciate the void
        
You should know me better than that


[Chorus]

                                   
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
              
    Behind        Ohhhhh
                                   
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
                 
    Behind       Ohhhhhh


[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

                                   
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
              
    Behind        Ohhhhh
