[intro]
Let you know me
Gave you a rare gift
You didn’t want it
Working hard I lift
But I had to admit
Wanted you to know me
[verse 1]
Been awhile now
Thought you’ll feel it again
The feeling that’s deep within
Let you know all my sin
Now my soul cries
Hearing all your lies
I’m angry and struggling to breathe
Put on a fake smile, all you see is teeth
I’m being smothered
My soul is covered
From all the abuse I suffered
(still, you don’t know me)
[pre-chorus]
I opened up, thought you'd understand
Reached for you with trembling hands
But silence echoed back to me
Like I was never meant to be
[chorus]
You see the mask, not the pain I hide
Been screaming loud from the dark inside
I gave you truth, but you turned away
Now I’m fading more every day
Can’t fix what you refuse to see
I tried so hard to set me free
But still…
You don’t know me
[verse 2]
I want you to show me
Why your so toxic like bromine
You’re giving me a headache
Between the choice of love and hate
I’ll choose to feel nothing
And that’s what will keep me safe
But still here I am searching for a place
Somewhere I can belong in between warm arms
So, show me
That you want to know me
[pre-chorus]
I opened up, thought you'd understand
Reached for you with trembling hands
But silence echoed back to me
Like I was never meant to be
[chorus]
You see the mask, not the pain I hide
Been screaming loud from the dark inside
I gave you truth, but you turned away
Now I’m fading more every day
Can’t fix what you refuse to see
I tried so hard to set me free
But still…
You don’t know me
[bridge]
Maybe one day you’ll look and see
The broken parts you left in me
Not asking for your sympathy
Just wishing you knew
Who I tried to be
[break – with a guitar solo]
(Now you’ll never know me)
