Why I'm Here (From the Netflix film “Shirley”) - Samara Joy

What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Uh-uh, bet you wanted it easy, but you don't know me Hands down, I had to woman-up for this Lay down for the body, but the mind don't sleep Trade love for blood, but I'm not sorry about this It's not good a story if it has no twist One queen, one king, who did I miss? Happy ending, violin, kiss Four eyes, two hearts, silence is bliss You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear (quiet, quiet) But I love you, that's why I keep it quiet Shh, shh, shh What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long One, two, three, common, classic dreams Got a stone, rough skin but a mind can be Like a front-row seat to the ending scene And it's all coming back, all running back Feeling like a blast from the past, piece in the dress Heavy like a stone in the hand, so armed, keep it down, keep it down Choose life or pick a gun, pick a gun Fight the fight for the one, be the one You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this, it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet too long What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long 'Cause I've been too
