  • I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past
    I'm a voice you didn't wanna hear
    I'm a page of a book that you read to fast,
    But I'm still here.
    You never cared never tried never even asked,
    Maybe I didn't wanna say
    You shut your eyes told your lies and you had your laugh
    And that's okay

    [Chorus]
    Cause you don't know me
    You don't wanna know what's real
    And I'm not sorry
    For who I am for what I feel, cause you don't know me.

    I got more on my mind that I've never 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'd never tell.
    But maybe it's just as well

    [Chorus]

    I'm strong, I'm a mess altogether an emotional wreck
    I can scream I can beg you to see I'm alive
    I'm awake I'm unglued
    I'm not gonna break down, no.

    You don't know me
    You don't wanna know what's real
    And I'm not sorry

    [Chorus]

    Cause you don't know me
    You don't wanna 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. Writer/s: ALLISON IRAHETA, DAVID BASSETT, DAVID HODGES, MITCH ALLAN
