You don’t know – Kobra and the Lotus

You don’t know

Did you ever think for a second,
I’m only human too?
You have no perception of all
the struggles that I have been through
Listening to the nothingness I’m hearing
while I watch your lips move
If you really knew me, you’d think
twice about creating my truth

I’m sick and tired
of feeling my face on fire
When you don’t know
what you’re talking about

You don’t know what it’s like to be me
No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me

You are on the outside always looking in
but never asking questions
Could it be that you won’t understand
that we’re both born of innocence
Empty conversations, we know nothing
of each other’s solitude
You don’t know the reasons that made me,
and I don’t know you

I’m sick and tired
of feeling my faith expire
In the lies we keep
on telling ourselves

You don’t know what it’s like to be me
No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me

You don’t know what it’s like to be me
No, you don’t know what it’s like to be me

Can you hear the sound
of me breaking down?
When the judgment calls,
I’m held against a wall
No, you don’t know,
you don’t know what it’s like
What it’s like, to be me
