You Know You're Right
Nirvana · Nirvana (The Best Of) [2002]
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
i will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good
I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail
Pain (x3)
You Know you're Right
You Know you're Right
You Know you're Right
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You wont be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail
Pain (x5)
