SHE DOESN’T KNOW YOU LIKE I DO

By Vera Von Monika

Verse 1
She holds your hand in crowded light
I watched you fade into polite
You smile like you’ve been taught to do
But I knew the version breaking through

Pre-Chorus
She sings along to your favourite song
But doesn’t know what went all wrong
She laughs at things you used to hide
I kissed the parts you locked inside

Chorus
She doesn’t know you like I do
Doesn’t hear the thunder when you’re quiet too
She sees the man you try to be
I saw the war beneath your peace
She thinks you’re whole, but I saw through
No, she doesn’t know you like I do

Verse 2
She brings you calm, keeps things in place
I danced with fire just to trace
The way your shadows came alive
When no one stayed, I still survived

Pre-Chorus
She doesn’t ask about your dreams
She sees the gold, I saw the seams
She calls you strong, I watched you fall
And loved you most when you lost it all

Chorus
She doesn’t know you like I do
Doesn’t hear the thunder when you’re quiet too
She sees the man you try to be
I saw the war beneath your peace
She thinks you’re whole, but I saw through
No, she doesn’t know you like I do

Bridge
You wear your mask, you play the part
But she won’t find your truest heart
Not in the way you let me see
When you were finally just…
free

Final Chorus
She doesn’t know you like I do
Doesn’t hold the silence like I used to
She gets the man you show the world
I held the boy behind the hurt
She thinks it’s love, but not that true
No, she doesn’t know you like I do
