Don'T Say You Know Me

If you say it I will know. You don't know me
Don't lie,
The memories we shared never gave you a clue
The smiles we shared some were never true
Even in that room, 
The food we shared was tasteless like wood
Though you blamed the old cook
For leaving a smelling broom 
In a cheap single room
That you booked for us to roam 
After luring a lot

Now you think you know. But you don't
You never gave yourself enough time to know
The story that you read a page
And leaped with a line to the press
To utter venom on your own nerves
Yet i own the paper that hired you
To test your ability on trust
Now you lose the whole game
And walk away with non of my names
As i tell your story to all men
While you hide like a mole
