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 wondering what you'd say

[00:24.95]But you don't know me

[00:28.06]and I wish you did

[00:29.16]You don't know me

[00:32.48]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

[01:01.98]But you don't know me

and I wish you did

[01:03.23]but you don't know me

[01:06.45]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

[02:41.43][02:32.94][02:23.83]Cause you don't know me

[02:43.87][02:35.57][02:26.88]and I wish you did

[02:44.96][02:36.62][02:28.10]but you don't me

[02:48.80][02:40.18][02:31.32]uh la la l a la
