Lyrics

Album Version

I woke up, someone's in my bed
Feels like hammers hittin' my head
Again and again and again

You wonder why I'm actin' up
Tell me to keep my mouth shut
I gotta pay for all the things you get for free
But you don't know what it's like to be...
(One, two, three, four)

Me
I'm sick of them pretending to know me
You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me, you don't know me

You never had to lift a finger
Don't care about things you don't wanna see
'Cause playin' dumb is easier

Instead, you wanna call me out
Tell me what isn't allowed
Tip-toe around your insecurity
But you don't know what it's like to be...
(One, two, three, four)

Me
I'm sick of them pretending to know me
You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me, you don't know me

Nightmares chasing after me
Same fears slippin' into my head
I'm holding on to the same things
I was when I was young
Nightmares chasing after me
Same fears slippin' into my head
I'm holding on to the same things
I was when I was young

You don't know what it's like to be...
(One, two, three, four)

Me
I'm sick of them pretending to know me
You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me, you don't know me
You don't know me, you don't know me

(You don't know me)
You don't know me, you don't know me
