You Don't Know My World

i'm still the one you see here
after all this time
you think you know me better
like i'm a simple line
in between the spaces
you never thought to look
therein lie your answers
that's where i write the book

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me

i'm just another dreamer
swim against the tide
you think you know the story
hiding in my pride
you hang onto the bitter
it's easy to explain
you'll never understand
why i'm smiling in the rain

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me

i'm another riddle in your episodic world
happy ending land
the guy will get the girl

you may know something of me
but you don't know my world
and you never did
you may think it's easy
to understand my dream
but you don't know my world
and if you don't know my world
you don't know me
