You Know I Know

I know the tribulations you face I know the laughter you keep inside I know the race is too much for your pace I know the tears you reveal and hide I KNOW...don't remind me I KNOW...can't you see? You know me by now I think Our hearts begin to sink I know the fears you try to fight back I know the remorse that abides by your side I know vast grace will embrace you and get you right on track I know the cheers you show off with your smile so wide I KNOW...I'm the fool for thinking I'm wise I KNOW...I've been believing in fairy tale lies You think you know me to the extreme Well, humility is above high self-esteem I want you to have a good mindset I can't stand, seeing you upset And I gotta let go of utter regret I bet you understand...you know , yet... You don't know... What I know... I KNOW we have a tendency to be selfish But, my wish for you is happiness, not anguish I KNOW we will get along sooner or later...we will tread this Narrow Path together...all I say is true But, we must meet each other's standards...be on each other's level...I promise I won't betray you
