Ben Folds - "You Don't Know Me"

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 thought that I 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

You coulda just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
or a cardboard standup and paint me
any face that you wanted me to be seen
we're damned by the existential moment
when we saw the couple in the coma
and it was really really cliche
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
you don't know me
you don't know me at all
you don't know me

from the person who you think I am
clueless chump you seem to think I am
so ? let it stray and you're a dog
who ocassionally 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
you don't know me
you don't know me

so what I'm tryna say is
what I'm tryna tell you is
not gonna come out like I wanna say it
cause I know you'll only change it
