Know How
Nelly Lyrics

Every time I walk into a room
I feel like there is no one there
Between the walls I look away
And I'm gone
In outer space
Every time I try to be
Your perfect little girl
I get a punch
In my back
How will anyone ever know?

How will anyone ever know?
I'm not the one who need to change
I'm not the one who need to change
How will anyone ever know how it feels?
How will anyone ever know how it feels?
To be left by you
To be left by you
To be left by you
To be left
Lies and empty promises
Who do you think you are?
I'm not someone you just can throw away
When it gets hard
How will anyone ever know?
How will anyone ever know?
I'm not the one who need to change
I'm not the one who need to change
How will anyone ever know how it feels?
How will anyone ever know how it feels?
To be left by you
To be left by you
To be left by you
To be left
Change
Need to change
Need to change
Need to change
