Don't Get to Know Me

If you must remember this

I'm only on the cusp of it

I don't know why I am here

I feel so out of place

If you had a single thought

That might be seen as negative

I'll bet it was honest

The subject was surely me.

Understand that I was taught

To tuck my thoughts and prayers away

I saved them for someone

And kept them from me

I haven't had the kind of life

To place upon a pedestal

Don't lock steps beside me

I surely will drag you down, down, down, down

Oh, don't get to know me

Let's all stay lonely

Oh, don't get to know me

Let's all stay lonely

All you ever have to do is break a smile (Oh, don't get to know me)

To take my breath away(Let's all stay lonely)

My defenses are nothing

When you come around

I haven't had the kind of life that leads itself(Oh, don't get to know me)

To fame or high regard(Let's all stay lonely)

Don't lock steps beside me

I surely will drag you down
