Rachel Yamagata - Known For Years Lyrics

I'm so good runnin' away
You'd think I'd grown up that way
And you're so good at leading them on
Who am I to bring you down

I wonder why I'm still hangin' around
Was it the song

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing
And I've known for years that we'd get here
And it'd be a shame to make believe
It's better to leave

And it's cruel the way I recall
A readiness to take it all
And I question still whether I am just a friend
And you don't need to stand in my way

I wonder if I just sold you the crown
Was it that sound

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And it'd be a shame to make believe
It's better to leave

It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
Yeah, It'd be a shame to make believe
Better, better, better, better to leave

'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And I can't make believe that we're seeing the same thing
'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
And it'd be a shame, it'd be a shame, shame

Oh no, it'd be a shame to make believe
It'd be a shame to make believe
Oh, it's better to leave
