But you know it's me

"Gentleman" by mewithoutYou

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

We never met, you and I

We were always inside

We were somewhere inside one another

And I'll live without you, love

But what good is one glove without the other?



You only ask about my leaving

Well honey I had no choice

So I call and

(When you hear that heavy breathing)

For that sound of your voice



But you sit there silent, folded arms

And look down as I walk by

Though my face has changed

You know it's me

You know by the stillness in my eyes



Come and whisper in my ear

"You're very pretty, dear," and

"It'll be alright."

You're lying!

But I don't mind tonight



So I wander and I wander

Your absence beating inside my chest

I try but I can't remember

The color of your eyes -

Just the shape of your dress



And through a garden overgrown

Oh, it's a long walk home

I said I'd not come back

Well I'm coming back -

And you'd better be alone



But you sit there silent, folded arms

And you smile as I walk by

My face has changed

But you know it's me

You know it's me!

Come and whisper in my ear

"My dear! My dear!"

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright

It'll be alright!
