I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past
I'm a voice you didn't want to hear
I'm a page in a book that you read too fast
But I'm still here

You never cared, never tried, never even asked
Maybe I didn't want to say
You shut your eyes, told your lies
Then you had your laugh and that's okay

'Cause you don't know me
You don't want to know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel
If you don't know me

I've got more on my mind than I ever told
I've got pain that you've never felt
I've got the scars, I can deal with it on my own
I've got stories that I'll never tell
But maybe it's just as well

'Cause you don't know me
You don't want to know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel
If you don't know me

I'm strong, I'm a mess
Altogether an emotional wreck
I can scream, I can thank you to see I'm alive
I'm awake, I'm unglued
I'm not gonna break down now

'Cause you don't know me
You don't want to know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am, for what I feel

'Cause you don't know me
You don't want to know what's real
And I'm not sorry for who I am
You don't understand just how I feel
'Cause you don't know me
