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
