She Never Knew Me

The only person to ever know me

Didn't even know me at all

A game of face I played, to please the one I wanted

Only a false persona would work I thought, and by this idea I was haunted

As long as I built it strong the facade would never fall

A shadow with a face, the tales I told were tall

It was for the best I thought, she'd like me better this way

Plus, it's better than her not liking me at all

Everything was great, golden you could say

Until the truth came out, that's when the shadow started to fray

The dynasty I built came tumbling  down around me

All I could hear was, "who are you even?"  being shouted at me

"Don't you see? I'm who you want me to be! " I've thought about it all, it's the best for you and me!

"That's not what I want, some false image that's made to please,

I wanted the truth, what is it you don't see?"

In the end it didn't work, because I lost sight of who I really was

The shadow lost it's face, everything lost without a trace

She still knows me the best, even though she never knew me all....
