YOU DONT KNOW ME

(Verse 1)

You know my name, you don’t know me.

You saw one post, that’s the old me.

Everybody got a story online,

Half of it’s fake, half of it’s lonely.

You think I’m good ‘cause I smile in pics,

Don’t see the nights when I can’t fix shit.

Don’t see the phone on do not disturb,

Or the mirror asking who this is.

(Pre-Chorus)

Everybody talking…

Nobody listening.

(Chorus)

You don’t know me.

You just know what I let you see.

One little picture,

One little caption,

That ain’t the whole damn story.

You don’t know me.

You just know my username.

If you saw what’s in my head…

You’d never look at me the same.

(Verse 2)

Keep my pain behind a filter,

Hide my doubts behind a joke.

Everybody thinks I’m winning…

Truth is I’m just trying to cope.

Some days I feel ten feet tall.

Some days I can’t get off the floor.

Funny how the loudest room

Can make you feel ignored.

(Bridge)

Maybe we’re all pretending.

Maybe that’s the trend.

Maybe we’re just strangers

Trying to look like friends.

(Final Chorus)

You don’t know me.

Maybe that’s okay.

Some parts ain’t for the internet…

Some scars don’t need a name.

You don’t know me.

Not even close.

And maybe that’s the only reason

I’m still holding on.
