You Don't Know Me

I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past

I'm a voice you didn't wanna hear

I'm a page in a book that you read too fast

But I'm still here

You never cared, never tried, never even asked

And maybe I didn't wanna say

You shut your eyes, told your lies and you had your laugh

And that's okay

'Cause you don't know me

You don't wanna know what's real

And I'm not sorry

For who I am, for what I feel

'Cause you don't know me

(You don't know me)

I've got more on my mind than I'm never told

I've got pain that you've never felt (you've never felt)

I've got the scars, I can deal with it on my own

I've got stories that I'll never tell (that I'll never tell)

But maybe it's just as well

'Cause you don't know me

You don't wanna know what's real

And I'm not sorry

For who I am, for what I feel

You don't know me

I'm strong, I'm a mess

Altogether an emotional wreck

I can scream, I can beg you to see I'm alive

I'm awake, I'm unglued, I'm not gonna break down now

'Cause you don't know me

You don't wanna know what's real

And I'm not sorry

'Cause you don't know me ('cause you don't know me)

You don't wanna know what's real

And I'm not sorry (and I'm not sorry)

For who I am, for what I feel

'Cause you don't know me ('cause you don't know me)

You don't wanna know what's real

And I'm not sorry (and I'm not sorry)

For who I am, you don't understand just how I feel

'Cause you don't know me
