You Never Knew Me - Song of the Year

You Never Knew Me

Verse 1:

Holding back pain, those professing tears
You hide them away like forsaken souvenirs
Buried deep silhouettes expose me in time
Stubborn solemn scars from when you were mine

Verse 2:

Your eyes but tenebrous mirrors of my regret
Reflecting dark parts of me I want to forget
My mind’s urgency to escape this rendezvous
Another distraction of not being able to love you

Chorus:

I am danger, I am a stranger
You never knew me that well
I am toxic, I am neurotic
Loving me will hurt like Hell
I am complicated, Self-hated
Don’t fall under my spell
I am danger, I am a stranger
You never knew me that well

Verse 3:

My desctructive heart begs “Return now, Don’t hesitate”
My head rivals against that repressed anguished fate
Inside me Armageddon, within me loneliness screams
My soul’s provoking affliction always remains unseen

Verse 4:

I’ve hidden panicking secrets that keep entangling me
I’m not trying to harm you with this raging perplexity
If I knew how to love myself, I’d love you the same
But all I can offer is negligence and self-serving shame

Chorus:
