Something That I Already Know Lyrics
Here we are,
Seven days
And seven nights of empty tries
It's rituals, habitual
But it's never gonna work this time
We're to the point of no return
And along the way the only thing we've learned
Is how to hurt each other
I'm looking back and wondering why
It took so long to realize
That nothing's changed, it never will
All these years of standing still
And still we stay, in all this pain
And nothing's going to make it go away
I don't want to wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby, you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go
And I don't want to wait another minute to hear
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
So save your voice
Don't waste your breath
Can't you see we're at the end?
And this goodbye, it's permanent
So wish me well
And try to forget
All the fights
And all the ways
We almost made it
But we never did
And finally it's come to this
I don't want to wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby, you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go
And I don't want to wait another minute to hear
Something that I already know
We cannot hide what we've become
So sick and tired of being loved (?)
It's done, it's done, it's done
I don't want to wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind baby, you're not in it
And we're not what we used to be
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
If you would only let me go
And I don't want to wait another minute to hear
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
'Cause I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
'Cause I know
'Cause I know

This is by far the best song on the album. I can't listening to it. The lyric "Put me out of my misery," sent chills down my spine.
when they sing "I don't want to wait another minute" it sounds exactly like they're gonna sing "I don't wanna waste another day" from Inconsolable. Good new album though.

favorite, favorite, favorite. i can't stop listening... the lyrics are perfect
The question mark word in the bridge is "numb"
I think we've all had this. The relationship has been dragging along and it needs to end.
Two people are in a relationship that has to end. They've tried to make it work multiple times, but they keep fighting and they're "to the point of no return." So the best thing is to say good-bye and go their separate ways.
similiar to inconsolable !
Good song!
I Love this song, I could listen to this song all day and by the end of the day, be crying my eyes out because it is just a special song to me!!!
