You Don't Really Know Me

by Alli Prater   Jul 30, 2006


You don't really know me. The smile that you see is fake
You don't know the haunting memories that always keep me awake
These green eyes used to be blue, but now they're stained with tears
And I wonder who that stranger is staring back at me in the mirror
I thought I had finally found myself, well I guess I was wrong
So once again I 'm starting over, trying to find where I belong
If you really knew me, you'd know my hair isn't really sraight
And you'd remember what I looked like being 60 pounds over-weight
You don't really know me, or how much I've changed over the years
From wishing someone would notice me to wishing I could disappear
You donn't really know me or you'd ask how I'm dealing
With the war going on inside of me and the pain that I'm feeling
If you really knew me, you'd know that my feet are really flat
You'd know I wish I could move on with my life without ever looking back
You don't really know me and I guess neither do I
I guess you'd really know me if would just stop trying to hide

  • The way you explain how lost u feel of yourself and how lost u feel others have gotten from you is very beautiful in the way it makes someone eager to try and figure you out =)
