[Verse 1]
How can I decide what's right when you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight all the time
How can I ever own what's mine when you're always taking sides?
But you won't take away my pride, no, not this time

Not this time

[Chorus]
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

[Verse 2]
The truth is hiding in your eyes and it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood, but you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are, if you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own

[Bridge]
(I'm screaming, "I love you so") On my own
(My thoughts you can't decode)

[Chorus]
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well? Yeah-heh
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

[Verse 3]
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves

Yeah, yeah-heh...

[Chorus]
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well? Yeah, yeah-heh
Well, how did we get here
When I used to know you so well?

I think I know
I think I know

[Verse 4]
Oh, there is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
