You don't know
You just don't know me at all
Can you
Tell me what happened here
Tell me how I should feel
When my life seems to be in disarray
I feel you testing me
With all your fanasties
And you tryin' to keep me down
But I won't stay
Cause you don't know me
I've been through all this hell before
I've seen it all and more
If you think I'm gonna fade away
You don't know me
You think you have the upper hand
Well that's not my plan
Stronger now I see the truth
You just don't know me at all
You tried to manipulate
Well now this is your fate
Cause piece by piece I'm gonna tear you down
Can't hold the secret now
Find out what I'm about
And to think that I would let you have your way
Well you don't know me
I've been through all this hell before
I've seen it all and more
If you think I'm gonna fade away
You don't know me
You think you have the upper hand
Well that is not my plan
Stronger now I see the truth
You just don't know me at all
Your soul is screaming
Who's crying now? (who's crying now?)
Your heart is bleeding
Who's sorry now!!!
I've been through all this hell before
I've seen it all and more
If you think I'm gonna fade away
You don't know me
You think you have the upper hand
Well that's not my plan
Stronger now I see the truth
You just
YOU!
YOU!
I've been through all this hell before
I've seen it all and more
If you think I'm gonna fade away
You don't know me
You think you have the upper hand
Well that's not my plan
Stronger now I see the truth
