The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I didn't know what I never like
His looking at me like you have something to hide
If I would have said I would have known
You're trying to run while I'm trying to grow
How does it feel are you dying inside
Trying to cover up, these's no reply
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I wanna say what every knows
You're buying the lie but you're selling your soul
Why would you say you want us to lose
You're looking at me but you see what you choose
'Cause I don't agree with everyone else
You're changing the rules
But you're cheating yourself
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you
Sloping away and I'm sure you're inside
I have nothing to lose and nothing to hide
Too many people living alone
Take a look at yourself
And then check what you know
How does it feel are you dying inside
Trying to cover up, these's no reply
I don't know what you know
I don't know what you know
I gotta feeling that you're looking to find
May be some kind of meaning
But I have nothing in mind
Why would you side with anyone else
When you're figuring out
What you're thinking yourself
How will you learn when
You don't want to know
How does it feel to
Believing in everything you're told
I don't know what you know
Though I know why the wind blows cold on you
