Smile, cut down for the first time
T can hurt you for a while
But you've got to stand your ground
'Cause you should know better by now
Yeah, I should know

I should feel, I should feel
Feel my head above the water
Make it real so I can breathe
You don't have to pull me under

I'll mine the gems you try to hide
Locked away are they safe inside?
There's a key I think I've found
Yeah you should know better by now
Yeah you should know

I'll play all the games you want to play
Guess the rules and guess the game
Who's the loaded dice, I've found?
Yeah, I should know better by now

Yeah, I should know
I should feel, I should feel
Feel my head above the water
Make it real so I can breathe
No you don't have to pull me under
And did I push these things too far?
And can I keep this thing together
Make it real, yeah make it real

Don't kick me when I'm down
Don't play upon my fears
Confusion makes no sound
It's way too late for a showdown
Let's move away from here
You broke me, and by now
I should know better by now
Yeah, I should know

I should feel, I should feel
Feel my head above the water
Make it real so I can breathe
You don't have to pull me under
Did I push these things too far
Can I keep this thing together
Make it real, yeah make it real

Make it real
Make it real
