You Don’t Know Me Lyrics by Allison Iraheta

Just Like You (Digital Edition)

2009

[Verse 1]
I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past
I'm a voice you didn't wanna hear
I'm a page in a book that you read too fast
But I'm still here
We never kept, never tried, never even asked
Maybe I didn't wanna say
You shut your eyes, told your lies then you had your laugh
And that's okay
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry
For who I am, for what I feel
'Cause you don't know me (You don't know me)
[Verse 2]
I got more on my mind that I've never told
I've got pain that you've never felt
I've got the scars, I can deal with it on my own
I've got stories that I'll never tell
But maybe it's just as well
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry
For who I am, for what I feel
You don't know me
[Bridge]
I'm strong, I'm a mess
Altogether an emotional wreck
I can scream, I can beg you to see I'm alive
I'm awake, I can prove I'm not gonna break down now
'Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't know me ('Cause you don't know me)
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry (And I'm not sorry)
For who I am, for what I feel
'Cause you don't know me ('Cause you don't know me)
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry (And I'm not sorry)
For who I am, you don't understand just how I feel
'Cause you don't know me
