Ben Kenney - How Would You Know lyrics

i got a message from you you sent it over to me i played it back on my phone it had me feeling confused cause i was hanging with you and i was feeling at home the words were sharp and aimed to cut down what i've grown but i expect it from you i've seen the things that you do and how you end up alone but how would you know when we were playing in bars you had me feeling like it was all a favor to me it had me borrowing cars and asking people for rides and could they do it for free back then i thought those days would never last that long after a couple of years i came to grips with my fears and realized i was wrong but how would you know a grudge is not a grudge when it's a promise to myself i hope you recognize before there's someone else who might not ever let you know but how would you know when people come up to me and want to talk about you they say forgive and forget it's just so easy to say and all the same walk away without a trace of regret but they don't know about the messages you left i think if everyone knew about the things that you do they'd lose a lot of respect but how would you know
