Nobody knows me like you
Especially after what you put me through
I'm burning and crashing
I've lost all my passion with age
I'm learning real fast
That you can't leave the past on a page
But we're two dots on a map
And it seems that without fail
Those inches in between us
Are really miles when drawn to scale
(We used to laugh, we used to cry...)
Nobody knows me like you
Especially after what you put me through
I'm crashing and burning
My stomach has turned to knots
I'm asking and yearning
For you to connect those dots
Because we're wasting our lives
And the space between us sings
And if we knew we were dying
Is this how we'd leave things now?
(We used to laugh, we used to cry...)
Nobody knows me like you
Especially after what you put me through
Especially after what you put me through
I'm burning and crashing
I've lost all my passion with age
I'm learning real fast
That you can't leave the past on a page
But we're two dots on a map
And it seems that without fail
Those inches in between us
Are really miles when drawn to scale
(We used to laugh, we used to cry...)
Nobody knows me like you
Especially after what you put me through
I'm crashing and burning
My stomach has turned to knots
I'm asking and yearning
For you to connect those dots
Because we're wasting our lives
And the space between us sings
And if we knew we were dying
Is this how we'd leave things now?
(We used to laugh, we used to cry...)
Nobody knows me like you
Especially after what you put me through

I've read a few online music journals where this song has reduced the writer to tears, and they're totally comfortable with admitting that (being male, and all). Come ON! That has to be an indication of a good song if I've ever heard one.
It's a lot more succint than Hart's other song lyrics, but it's just as devestating. He really has a way with words.
it seems like hart samples a love song from the 80s throughout - does anyone have an idea what song this is?
Great song. Chorus is sampled from Benny Hester's "Nobody Knows Me Like You" from 1981, and I believe the lyrics really are:<br /> <br /> Nobody knows me like you<br /> You put your arms around me<br /> You bring me through
As luredreier2 said in their reply to ac3491 the correct lyrics are
" Nobody knows me like you You put your arms around me You pull me through"
Correction to my previous post. It's "Bring me through" not "Pull"
