If You Only Knew Me

When you look around
I am never found
In the light of your crowd
I'm a shadow
All the words you speak
They get back to me
I feel every sting
And you don't know

When it's just me alone
That's when it hits home
Some days I feel so close to stepping off the edge

If you knew me
Maybe you'd see
The real and true me
That's hidden by your lies
If you only knew me

Do you ever wonder
About the pressure I'm under
Or how we're all just trying to survive
You laugh behind my back
Casting stones and throwing jabs
Don't you know that it cuts deeper than any knife

And you may never see
What you've done to me
Some days I feel so close to losing who I am

If you knew me
Maybe you'd see
The real and true me
That's hidden by your lies
If you only knew me

I'm so tired of letting you push and shove
I think I'm finally done
You don't get to tell me who I am
I've let you play your role
Now watch me take control
I'm more than you could ever know
You don't get to tell me who I am

If you knew me
Maybe you'd see
The real and true me
That's hidden by your lies
If you only knew me
