If You Really Knew Me

If you really knew me
You'd know why I take things so seriously
Why I always seem like I'm not there
If you really knew me
You'd see why I ask so many questions
The reason I desire your consistent attention
If you really knew me
I wouldn't have to explain the pain I feel inside
And how I can't let it go without a fight
If you really knew me
You'd understand why I care so much
Or that the meaning of love isn't a standard definition
So do you know me or do you just think you do?
