[TRACK: Need to Know] [TEMPO: ~72–76 BPM | 4/4] [Intro] (Atmospheric keys / ambient morning traffic wash) [Verse 1] My chest feels tight My thoughts are in flight I can hardly breathe The words I heard Are stuck in my head There are some things You just cannot un-hear What do I do now? No, what can I do? [Pre-Chorus] You probably shouldn't say The things you said Not sure I heard well There's got to be another way To show me that you care To show me that you're real To show how hard you've lived... That you've been put to the test. [Chorus] There are some things You cannot un-hear (you cannot un-hear) My chest feels tight And it all comes back to fear (comes back to fear) If I got to choose I would have decided On my need to know, dear There are some things You cannot un-hear [Verse 2] Now my heart's thumping In the middle of the night I made a promise And I want to do right But what I heard tonight Has got my soul reeling. Everything about you I don't really need to know If it's about your past If you're no longer suffering Then keep it need to know There're some burdens I just cannot bear [Pre-Chorus] Your past does not need To be an open book For my love to grow I know the feeling you give I know that you care When you hold my hand And look into me, it's all there In those tired brown eyes I pray you won't hurt, but Now...I know how it feels [Chorus] There are some things You cannot un-say ( I cannot un-hear) Thoughts torment And it all comes out in fear (it comes back to fear) If I had a choice I would have decided Only on my need to know There are some things I cannot un-hear [Bridge] Now my heart Feels heavy My breath gets stuck Oh why? Couldn't you tell I didn't need to hear? That's one side of you I don't need to see What I need most Is your peace Deep down in me [Final Chorus] There are some things I cannot un-hear (you cannot un-say) Something don't feel right And it all comes back to fear (comes back to fear) If I had a choice I would've decided Only on my need to know Cause there are some things I...Just..CANNOT...un-hear
