Does She Know What I Know?

from The Green Eyed by Daisy Chapman

about

We've all been there - betrayal, coveting, people coveting you - so much lyric fodder. So I thought I'd put my experiences of it in one song. I know there are elements that everyone will have experienced.

lyrics

Can't live with you
Can't live without you
Trying to take over me
This wretched dichotemy.

You say she's your cocaine
An instant lift that won't sustain
Does that make me your heroin?
Cos I'm still running through your veins.

Your ideas and your fears she acts delighted
Is she willing to experiment more than I did?
Femme fatale, au natrual wants you to show it
Reciprocate this twist of fate
Think I won't notice it?

Oh I will run for cover to escape the thoughts of you
I will run for cover, just to keep it out of view
I will run for cover cos I know that you will too.

So kind of you to thoughtfully
Act this out in front of me
With every graze across her thigh
Another piece of me dies

Oh God how it consumes me
Just how my you bruised me
Concealing of the feelings that kept the fire under me
That paralising glance stopped my heart every time
And now I have to watch you stopping hers instead of mine,
It's fine.

Do you remember you told me
Something I'll never forget
Does she know what I know?
