You thought you knew me,
didn't you?
You thought you had me all figured out
in that silly little box of yours
because I let you think
my walls were down
(I never give away all my secrets)

So you know my favorite color
(that makes you no different than any other)
You pieced together things you thought you knew
into a person that you think you know
But that isn't me
that isn't me at all

I never told you
that even though I listen to emo punk
I also like country and rock
and I told you my favorite color is yellow
but you don't know that for the longest time
I didn't like any colors
not even gray
I told you that I think everyone is pretty
but I didn't tell you why
I didn't tell you how bad my self-image us
or how it feels to disassociate or
how I feel about God or
what happens after death
You never met my best friends
or came to my youth group
and I never told you
how it feels to live in my house

So sure,
you know my siblings' names
and my favorite season
But you don't know my whys
I don't wear my heart on my sleeve
and if you wanted to hurt me
you'll have to try harder
(We had some laughs but
You never knew me)
