Know Me, No Me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You believe you do
You don’t know me
You say that’s not true
You don’t know me
I hardly know myself
You don’t know me
I barely hold myself together
You don’t know me
I don’t know whether
You don’t know me
I walk the night
Can you even see me
I scream through the fright
Do you even hear me
Or I don’t understand why
You don’t know me
Or if I can walk another day
You don’t know me
Or should I go or stay
You don’t know me
If I go will you understand
You don’t know me
If I stay can you love me
You don’t know me
If I set myself free
You don’t know me
Walk past the mirrors
A stranger walks with me
Am I truly there
What is it I see
Best for me, best for you
You don’t know me
Best for us, best for all
You don’t know me
Best to take the fall
You don’t know me
No me.
