You don't know me (feat. ben folds)

I wanna ask you
Do you ever sit and wonder,
It's so strange
That we could be together for
So long, and never know
never care
What goes on
in the other one's head?

Things I've felt
but I've never said
You said things
that I never said
So I'll say something
that I should have
said long ago:

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(at all)

You could have
just propped me up
on the table
like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up
and paint me
(paint me)
Any face
that you wanted me
To be seen
We're
Damned by
the existential moment where
We saw the couple
in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

So, sure
I could just
close my eyes.
Yeah, sure
trace and memorize,
But can you go back
once you know

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(at all)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me

If I'm the person
that you think I am
(Ah ah ahh)
Clueless chump you seem
to think I am
(Ah ah ahhh)
So easily led astray,
An errant dog
who occasionally escapes
and needs
a shorter leash, then
Why the fuck
would you want me back?!

Maybe it's because

(You don't know me at all)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

(You don't know me,
you don't know me.)

Ahhh ah
Ahhh ah

So,
what I'm trying to say is
What (What?)
I'm trying to tell you
It's not gonna come out
like I wanna say it
cause I know
you'll only change it.
(Say it.)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(at all)

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(at all)

What?

(Mmmm, ohh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah
Aha ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Aha ah
Ah ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh)
