You Don't Know Me

You think you know me,
Because I trusted you;
Confided in you,
I just didn't care, because I didn't know you.

You think you understand me,
Because I'm just "an open book";
"So easily definable".
Your ignorance? It's unattractive.

You think you're worse off?
Well life's not a competition;
It's not about who's got it worse.
But there you go, making it all about you.

You think I get everything I want,
Well, would you look at that,
You clearly don't know me all that well,
Because all I want, is to be happy.

You think we're the same,
That we've been through the same stuff?
Well that's a joke.
You weren't there; stop pretending you can understand.

You think I'm lucky,
My life's just a walk in the park,
But you wouldn't switch places with me,
You don't know how much you have to lose.

You think you know me;
That our minds work the same way,
But how can you possibly know me,
When I don't even know myself?
