You Don't Know Me

Center of attention once again

They don't understand

They don't understand, no

Then they try to tell me who I am

They don't understand

They don't understand, no

You want a perfect picture to believe in

Then you can't be looking for me, then

I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life, so truth be told

I see you're thinking but there's just one thing, dear

You think you know but you don't have no idea

Think you know me but there's more to see, my love

Same arguments, time and time again

And you watched them all happen

But they don't understand, no

Thinking you're the reason that it ends

And he won't be back again

But they don't understand, no

You want a perfect picture to believe in

Then you can't be looking for me, then

I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life, so truth be told

You don't know me

The girl you see in photographs is only

A part of the one I am, don't judge me

'Cause that's not reality and all I can be

Is in love with who I'm becoming

Think you know me, but there's more to see, my love

You think you know, but you don't have no idea

I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life, so truth be told (I see you're thinking)

You don't know me

I don't need to live by your rules (you don't control me)

Until you've walked a mile in my shoes (you don't know me)

And I know, I know, I know you don't like it

You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been

It's my life, so truth be told

I see you're thinking but there's just one thing, dear

You think you know but you don't have no idea

Think you know me but there's more to see, my love

My love
