The Things You Said Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said

But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
(I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses
(I never denied them)

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said

How can a view become so twisted?
How can a view become so twisted?
They know my weaknesses
(I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses
(You tried them)


[Interlude]

[Bridge]
I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it’s worth
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I heard it from my friends about the things you said
I heard it from my friends about the things you said

I’ve never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses
(I never tried to hide them)
They know my weaknesses
(Thought that you liked them)

[Interlude]

[Outro]
They know me better than that

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
