I wanna ask you

Do you ever sit and wonder

It's so strange

That we could be together for

So long, and never know

Never care

What goes on

In the other one's head?

Things I've felt

But I've never said

You said things

That I never said

So I'll say something

That I should have

Said long ago

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(At all)

You could have

Just propped me up

On the table

Like a mannequin

Or a cardboard stand-up

And paint me

(Paint me)

Any face

That you wanted me

To be seen

We're

Damned by

The existential moment where

We saw the couple

In the coma and

It was we were the cliché

But we carried on anyway

So, sure

I could just

Close my eyes

Yeah, sure

Trace and memorize

But can you go back

Once you know

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(At all)

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me

If I'm the person

That you think I am

(Ah ah ahh)

Clueless chump you seem

To think I am

(Ah ah ahhh)

So easily led astray

An errant dog

Who occasionally escapes

And needs

A shorter leash, then

Why the fuck

Would you want me back?!

Maybe it's because

(You don't know me at all)

Ahhh ah

Ahhh ah

(You don't know me

You don't know me.)

Ahhh ah

Ahhh ah

So

What I'm trying to say is

What (What?)

I'm trying to tell you

It's not gonna come out

Like I wanna say it

Cause I know

You'll only change it

(Say it.)

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(At all)

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all

(At all)

What?

(Mmmm, ohh oh

Ah ah ah ah ah

Aha ah ah ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Aha ah

Ah ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh-oh oh ohh)
