Do not say you know me,
Just because I bear your genes.
Do not say you know me,
Just because you watched my teens.
From as young as seven
I was taught to tell untruths
When I reached eleven
I reached outside for a sooth
Do not say you know me,
Just because I lived with you
Do not say you know me,
Just because the years accrue,
When I was young you taught deceit
You told me white lies were harmless
And week after week you made me repeat
That soon I could lie with finesse
Do not say you know me
Though you can say you love
Do not say you know me
If you know of the past I speak of
I bear scars from those days
5 years don't just disappear
your eyes please unglaze
and listen to me hear
Do not say you know me
For I know well that you don't
Do not say you know me
For the me you know has flown.
