You Don't Know Me
Unrequited Longing: The Unseen Heartache Behind "You Don't Know Me
Lyrics
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me.
And then you say, "Hello."
You greet me with a simple "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
I find it difficult to speak; my heart is racing.
My heart is beating so.
The intensity of my emotions is overwhelming.
And anyone can tell
It's evident to anyone.
You think you know me well.
You believe you understand me deeply.
Well, you don't know me.
Contrary to your belief, you lack true understanding of me.
No you don't know the one
You are unaware of the person
Who dreams of you at night;
who dreams about you during the night.
And longs to kiss your lips
Desires to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
and hold you tightly.
Oh I'm just a friend.
I am relegated to the role of a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Friendship is all I've ever known.
Cause you don't know me.
Because you lack insight into who I truly am.
For I never knew the art of making love,
I never mastered the skill of making love.
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Despite my deep love for you, my heart is in pain.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
Fear and shyness led me to miss an opportunity.
A chance that you might love me too.
A chance for you to reciprocate my love.
You give your hand to me,
You extend your hand, and then you bid farewell.
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I witness you departing.
I watched you walk away,
I see you walking away,
Beside the lucky guy
next to another fortunate man.
Oh, you'll never ever know
You will never be aware
The one who loved you so.
of the one who loved you deeply.
Well, you don't know me
Just as before, you lack true knowledge of me.
For I never knew the art of making love,
I never learned the art of making love.
Though my heart aches with love for you.
My heart still aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
Fear and shyness once again caused me to miss a chance.
A chance that you might love me too.
Another opportunity for you to love me.
Oh, you give your hand to me,
Once more, you extend your hand to me.
And then you say, "Goodbye."
Then, you bid farewell.
I watched you walk away,
I watch you leave,
Beside the lucky guy
beside another fortunate man.
Oh, you'll never ever know
You will never know
The one who loved you so.
the one who loved you deeply.
Well, you don't know me
As before, you lack true understanding of who I am.
