You Don't Know Me Lyrics

I was wrong this was my mistake

 I resolve to save what's mine again

 I've always wanted to believe in things

 And I pity you for taking that from me

 

 You tried to erase the guilt that's on your face

 But you're just hiding out behind your cool

 Like a hurricane you changed

 And because you took the blame

 You thought that would be enough 

 And then I'd be on my way

 

 [Chorus]

 Did you think that I would let you forget me? 

 Did you think that I would just lie on the floor? 

 As you walked into you future did you think I 

 would give you control?

 Well, you don't know me

 Did you think that I would simply forgive you? 

 Maybe you think I'd just lay down and die

 As you walked away, didn't you think I'd survive? 

 Well, you don't know me

 

 My world changed like a thought replaced

 I was faithful to the promises you made

 When you say my name

 Will it sound the same

 As when you used to talk to me so cool ?

 You want me to pretend

 So you'll have your happy end

 To wash away your guilt

 And make it easier for you - oh

 

 [Chorus]
