Know me

[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)
