You Don't Know Me

I wanna ask you;

Do you ever sit and wonder

It’s so strange that we could be together

For so long and never know, never care

What goes on in the other one’s head?

Things I thought but I never said

You said things that I never said

So i’ll say something that I should have said long ago

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all

(You don’t know me)

You could have just propped me up at the table like a mannequin

Or a cardboard standup

And given me any face that you wanted me to be seen

We’re damned by the existential moment

When we saw the couple in a coma

And it was we were the cliché

But we carried on anyway

So, sure, I could just close my eyes

Yeah, sure, trace and memorize

But can you go back once you know?

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all

If i’m the person who you say I am

Clueless chump you seem to think I am

So easily led astray

An errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then

Why the fuck would you want me back?

Maybe it’s because…

You don’t know me at all

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all

So what i’m trying to say is

What (What?) I’m trying to tell you is

Not gonna come out like I wanna say it

‘cause I know you’ll only change it

(Say it)

(You don’t know me)

You don’t know me at all
