lyrics

who told you to notice
the way i smile?
who told you to notice
my beautiful mind?
who told you to notice
the way i laugh?
who told you to notice
the small of my back?

is it better
not to be seen
than to be seen
by people who do not say
what they mean, ooh?
it is better
not to be heard
than to be heard
by people who cannot
give you their word, ooh?

bridge
who told you to notice
to notice me?
to see all the things?
who told you to notice
to take my hand
to know this me?

who told you to notice?

who told you to notice
the way i care?
who told you to notice
the way that i stared?
who told you to notice
the way i taste, the way i taste?
who told you to notice
the shape of my grace?

is it better
not to be known
than to be known
by people who cannot
give you their all, ooh?
is it better
not to be loved
than to be loved
by people who cannot
give you enough, ooh?

(repeat bridge)

who told you to notice?
who told you to notice?
who told you?
who told you to notice?
who told you to notice
to notice me
to know this me?

oh why don't you notice
the way i break?
oh why don't you notice
the wounds you make?
