You don't know me

My mind is wandering it is pondering in this cheap cafe
Writing poetry so thoughtlessly, mental fabric frayed
Smoking cigarettes, trying to forget, while my lungs decay
I'm wandering what you'd say

But you don't know me
and I wish you did
You don't know me
uh la la la la

And there you are like a rising star so heroically
And I'm a silhouette that you forget, I am stale whipped cream
Just a courtesan on a baby grand in your periphery
that you no longer need

Cause you don't know me
and I wish you did
but you don't know me
uh la la la la

Night after night
I sing pain and pride on this seasoned stage
I'm your invisble, inaudible princess of rage
You don't see the scars or feel the bars of my golden cage
You just turn the page

Cause you don't know me
and I wish you did
but you don't me
uh la la l a la
