[Verse 1] I catch my face in the spoon and I see the panic first I know the shape of my moods before I can name the hurt I read the room too fast like a card trick gone wrong I can smell my own excuse while I’m still singing along [Pre-Chorus] That’s the gift and the bruise I see the crack before the truth [Chorus] I know myself too well I know myself too well It saves me from the fall then makes the fall feel real I know myself too well I know myself too well I’m hard to fool, hard to hold harder still to heal [Verse 2] I can hear the lie in my laugh when I say I’m fine I can spot my favorite trap and still step right in line I replay every text every pause, every stare turn a small mistake into a loaded prayer [Pre-Chorus] That’s the cost of the light You see too much to sleep at night [Chorus] I know myself too well I know myself too well It saves me from the fall then makes the fall feel real I know myself too well I know myself too well I’m hard to fool, hard to hold harder still to heal [Bridge] Still, I’d rather know than live half-blind Rather face my faults than call them mine If I can name the storm I can ride it through Self-aware, self-worn but I’m still me too [Final Chorus] I know myself too well I know myself too well It saves me from the fall then makes the fall feel real I know myself too well I know myself too well I’m learning how to bend without breaking into pieces
