You Don't Really Know Me

Album: Sweet Talker (2014)

  • The girl who always says yes
    Wants to scream no
    Takes over everyone's stress, uh
    And ignores her own
    The life and soul of the party
    But loves to stay home
    She say's she's not broken-hearted
    But cries on her own

    Playing pretend
    I shouldn't hide it
    It isn't right
    Being a liar
    I'm crossing the line
    Dancing with fire,
    When I'm not fine
    Should I deny it?

    'Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,
    I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain, uh
    'Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream, uh
    But I'm fighting through a nightmare,
    'Cause I'm not really being me, (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) uh
    So you don't really know me (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

    The girl who starts all the jokes
    Just make her laugh,
    Preaches the do's and the don'ts
    But loves to be bad,
    Smiles when they guess who she's loving
    What they say makes her mad
    She says "I'm fine, I need nothing"
    But she hopes for your hand

    Playing pretend
    I shouldn't hide it
    It isn't right
    Being a liar
    I'm crossing the line
    Dancing with fire,
    When I'm not fine
    Should I deny it?

    'Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,
    I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain, uh
    'Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream, uh
    But I'm fighting through a nightmare,
    'Cause I'm not really being me, (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) uh
    So you don't really know me (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

    So, you don't really know me (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) oh no
    How can you know me?
    You don't really know me,
    You don't really know me

    'Cause I'm going crazy when I'm not okay,
    I keep praying that the cracks don't show my pain,
    'Cause even when I'm falling, I say my life is like a dream,
    But I'm fighting through a nightmare,
    'Cause I'm not really being me (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
    And you don't really know me, (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) ohh

    I'm not really being me (not really being me) (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) uh
    Not, not, I'm not really being me
    Not, not, I'm not really being me (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

    Oh (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
