The Truth Hurts

Never think you know everything 
About everyone

There is always someone
Lurking beneath the surface

It doesn't matter how well
You think you know someone

Sometimes it’s just like
You don’t know them at all

When you find out something
About someone you thought you knew

It can change your whole perspective
On that one person

And leaves you there just wondering
Why?
