Knowing Me

You say that you love me
But I can't help but wonder
Waiting for all the phone calls
That never came
Love me?
Oh, I don't think so

You say that you know me
I can't help but wonder
Just reading my words
Isn't really knowing me
It was just a tiny glimpse
Inside my heart
I only showed you
What I wanted you to see
But know me?
Oh, I don't think so

How could you
How could you know me
Tell me how
To know someone takes interest
It takes time
It takes being there
It takes caring
And giving of yourself
Not just taking
What is given to you

I can't help but wonder
Why did it take me so long
To open my eyes
To see you for who you truly are
No, I honestly don't think you
Know me at all
