I Know

So be it  I'm your crowbar
If that's what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don't know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time  all the time
I'll know  I'll know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time  all the time
I'll know  I'll know
Baby
I can't help you out
While she's still around
So for the time being  I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll just consider this
Even if it don't make sense
All the time
Give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains
I'll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find
The lines to speak your mind
And pry it open  hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late
For me to wait
For you to find you love me
And tell me so
It's okay
Don't need to say it
