I Should Never Have Let You Know
Unveiling Vulnerabilities: Matthew Sweet's Reflection on Regret and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I should never have let you know
I regret revealing my true self to you
That I could be what I was not
I pretended to be something I was not
I should never have let you know
I shouldn't have shown my vulnerabilities to you
That I was weaker than you thought
I appeared stronger than I actually was
Can you show me
Can you demonstrate or prove?
'Cause I did it for you once and now you owe me
I did something for you, and now I expect something in return
'Cause you say that you possess me and then you loan me
You claim to own me, but then you allow others to use me
Out to anyone who passes by
You expose me to anyone passing by
I should never have let you know
I shouldn't have let you know that I can see beyond the surface
That I could see beyond the dawn
I have the ability to see beyond the obvious
I should never have let you know
I shouldn't have let you know that the night is brief and the day is long
The night is short the day is long
Time is relative, and I revealed this insight to you
Can you show me
Can you prove or demonstrate?
'Cause I did it for you once and now you owe me
I did a favor for you, and now I expect repayment
'Cause you say that you possess me and then you loan me
You claim to own me, yet you let others use me
Out to anyone that passes by
You expose me to anyone passing by
Never have let you know
I shouldn't have let you know
Never have let you know
-Never have let you know
-I should never have let you know
I regret revealing myself to you
Never have let you know
I shouldn't have let you know
Never have let you know
-Can you show me
Can you prove or demonstrate?
'Cause I did it for you once and now you owe me
I did something for you, and now I expect something in return
'Cause you say that you possess me and then you loan me
You claim to own me, but then you allow others to use me
Out to anyone that passes by
You expose me to anyone passing by
Never have let you know
I shouldn't have let you know
Never have let you know
