[Verse 1]
“You should be more like—”
yeah, I’ve heard that line
Every dinner like a trial
I’m on borrowed time
Report card judge, bedroom cell
phone light under the sheet
You say you’re keeping me safe
but you don’t let me breathe
You think a bad grade
means I’m a bad kid
You think my headphones
mean I’m hiding things
You say “I know best”
point at every little flaw
But you don’t see the panic
sitting heavy in my jaw
[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
you just know how it felt for you
You say you’re disappointed
like I woke up just to fail you
You call it love, but it feels like chains
I’m not you, I’m not your pain
You don’t know everything
you just think that you do
[Verse 2]
You told me “don’t cry”
then asked why I’m cold
Took my trust, grounded it
’cause I came home late once, got scolded
You say “I gave you all this”
then throw it in my face
I never asked to carry
every dream you didn’t chase
You want “thank you” on command
“yes sir, yes ma’am”
But you never say “I’m sorry”
when you go too far again
You’re scrolling through my messages
like I’m gonna explode
Maybe if you’d listened
you would already know
[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
you just know how it felt for you
You say you’re disappointed
like I woke up just to fail you
You call it love, but it feels like chains
I’m not you, I’m not your pain
You don’t know everything
you just think that you do
[Bridge]
I get that you’re scared
I get that the world is rough
But yelling at my scars
doesn’t ever make me tough
Ask me what I’m thinking
not what I did wrong
If you wanna lead me
try hearing my song (yeah)
[Chorus]
You don’t know everything
you just know how it felt for you
You say you’re disappointed
like I woke up just to fail you
You call it love, but it feels like chains
I’m not you, I’m not your pain
You don’t know everything
you just think that you do
