You Don'T Know Me

You think you know me
 But really you don't 
I'm not what you think I am
 And I'm not who you see

I'm a stranger to you
 And also to myself
I no longer know who I am
 Even though I thought I knew

I'm not what I seem
 Because I hide behind a smile
And pretend to be something I'm not
 By living in a dream

If you really knew me
 You wouldn't like me either
Because I don't like myself
 As you will soon see

Look deep within me
 So you can se through my soul
Bet you didn't know there was hate
 See, you don't know me
