Ben Ayers - If They Knew You Lyrics

Well, look who's crying in the spotlight again
With a new brutal deed to your name
And look who's wailing in the bleachers to the side
It's the fools who believe you're not blame

But if they knew you the way that I do
They wouldn't patronize or come to your defense
If they knew you the way that I do
They would have never given you a second chance

And the crowd goes wild for those crocodile tears
Like you're the honest victim under fire
As if you changed from the one you've always been
A sadist, a brat, and a liar

But if they knew you the way that I do
They wouldn't patronize or come to your defense
If they knew you the way that I do
They would have never given you a second chance

I could dream of you choking on your fabricated charm
When you finally eat your rancid words
But I know you'll probably get away to go and prey
In the wide open arms of the herd

But if they knew you the way that I do
They wouldn't patronize or come to your defense
If they knew you the way that I do
They would have never given you a second chance

If they knew you the way that I do
If they could see marks that you carved into me
If they knew you the way that I do
Then they would lock you up and throw away the key
