You Don'T Know Me

You think you know, but you don't.
What I speak of isnt a thing, but a person.
Which person i'm talking about, you'll never know. 
You'll never know, unless I say.

You will say you know, 
But you really don't know.
If you really knew, then I 
Shouldn't have to say a word right?
I wouldn't have to tell you who this person is.

If you really knew, then I shouldn't 
Have to say that this person I speak of,
This person I iterate the words 'You' and 'Know'
About, you would've never guessed that this 
Person is the one that wrote this.

Now do you understand who I talk about?
Who i refer to? 
Do you think you know something about
'This' person now?
