I Can See Through You Lyrics

I got the church key
Moving in the night
Don't you wish you could live this lie?

I couldn't talk about
Filling up with longing
Pale horse, green eyes

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la

Some people see you
To me you're just see-through
No one remembers your name
No one tries

And let you step outside
In the fever of evening
No one remembers your name
No one tries

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and what you are
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la

'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've written this down by ear as the "official" lyrics haven't been released yet. This is from the studio version. It's very likely that there are mistakes, so feel free to correct.

Good job with the lyrics, but a couple things I would change:

>

might be "Don't you wish you could live this life?", not lie, but hard to tell either way

I hear pale horse green eyes too, but I think he means "horse-green" eyes... whatever colour that is, haha

Is this about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Shakespeare's Hamlet? Because that would be hilarious.
