WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW [Intro — warm bass, Rhodes, intimate spoken female vocal] Funny thing about people… They see what they wanna see. And I let ’em. [Verse 1 — low, conversational, rhythmic] I learned to smile without explaining Let ’em talk, let ’em assume Everybody paints a picture From a corner of the room I used to straighten every story Make sure everybody knew Then I learned the sweetest freedom Isn’t proving what is true [Pre-Chorus — melody climbs, drums build] You see the light But not the flame You know my face You know my name But there’s a world Behind these eyes You’d never recognize [Chorus — full groove, soaring soulful melody, layered harmonies] What you think you know Is what I let you see You can read the cover But you can’t read me Go on, take your guess Go on, steal the show You can have your version Of what you think you know Oh, what you think you know What you think you know Ain’t even half the story, no [Verse 2 — playful, slightly sharper delivery] I can wear a little sunshine With a storm behind my smile I can sit and let you talk Let you run another mile You mistake my quiet for surrender Take my kindness for a clue Funny how the ones who know me least Have the most to say I do [Pre-Chorus — stronger vocal, rising strings] You see the light But not the flame You know my face You know my name But there’s a world Behind these eyes You’d never recognize [Chorus — bigger, expressive harmonies] What you think you know Is what I let you see You can read the cover But you can’t read me Go on, take your guess Go on, steal the show You can have your version Of what you think you know Oh, what you think you know What you think you know Ain’t even half the story, no [Bridge — drums drop, spoken-sung with attitude] I don’t owe you every chapter Every scar or every truth You can keep your little picture I got nothing left to prove [Pause — almost whispered] I never lied about who I am. You just thought you knew. [Final Chorus — powerful, full instrumentation, emotional lift] What you think you know Is what I let you see You can read the cover But you can’t read me I don’t need to change your mind I don’t need to steal the show You can have your version Of what you think you know [Outro — bass and Rhodes, intimate female vocal] Funny thing about people… They see what they wanna see. And sometimes… That’s all they need to know.
