You Don't Know Me
Unveiling Hidden Hearts: The Enigmatic Emotions in Teddy Thompson's "You Don't Know Me
Lyrics
You give your hand to me
You offer your hand to me
And then you say hello
Upon greeting, you say hello
And I can hardly speak
I find it difficult to speak
My heart is beating so
My heart is racing intensely
And anyone can tell
It's evident to anyone
You think you know me well
You believe you understand me well
But you don't know me
But in reality, you lack true knowledge of me
No you don't know the one
You don't know the person
Who dreams of you each night
Who imagines and yearns for you every night
And longs to kiss your lips
And desires to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
And yearns to embrace you tightly
To you I'm just a friend
To you, I am merely a friend
That's all I've ever been
That's the role I've always had in your eyes
No you don't know me
You lack the understanding of me
I never knew the art of making love
I never learned the skill of expressing love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Even though my heart is filled with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
Fearful and hesitant, I missed my opportunity
A chance that you might love me too
A chance where you might have reciprocated my feelings
You give your hand to me
You extend your hand to me again
And then you say goodbye
And then you bid farewell
I watched you walk away
I observe you departing
Beside the lucky guy
Alongside another fortunate person
I know you'll never know
I understand you'll never comprehend
The one who loved you so
The one who deeply loved you
No you don't know me
You lack genuine knowledge of me
You give your hand to me
Again, you offer your hand to me
And then you say hello
And once more, you say hello
And I can hardly speak
I struggle to find words
My heart is beating so
My heart is racing intensely once more
And anyone can tell
It's apparent to anyone
You think you know me well
You believe you understand me well
But you don't know me
However, the reality remains: you lack true knowledge of me
