Knew Me


If you really knew me You'd know I'm a fake. I force a smile, Happiness at stake. If you really knew me, You'd know I lie. I tell you what you want to hear, Because I hate how you pry. If you really knew me, You'd know I'm sick. Imagine the amount of blood that can pour, From just a single prick. You don't know me. Don't pretend that you do, And I won't pretend To act like I know you.
