Song Lyrics

I have to stop saying to be honest
It's not a real defeat
To have to stop saying to be honest
It's not a great defeat

No no no not such a great defeat

All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way

Can you tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world
Tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world to people
Though people never seem to know
To people though people never know

The more I say the more I keep confusing things
To make me feel complete
So I keep lying to be honest
And it's not a real defeat

No no no not such a real defeat

All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way

Can you tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world
Tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world to people
Though people never seem to know
To people though people never know

It's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you could be
If you tried much harder

All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way

All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
