[Intro — Sparse Piano / Low Percussion] [TEGAN female:] You walk around like you’ve got it all figured out. Like every question has an answer. Like every person can be understood. [NATHAN male:] And you walk around like you already know exactly who I am. [TEGAN female:] Maybe I do. [NATHAN male:] No. BOTH: You don’t know me. [Verse 1 — Tegan female] You see the anger, You see the fire, You see the walls I’ve built up higher. You hear my voice, You hear me shout, And think you’ve got me figured out. But you don’t know What made me this way. You don’t know What I carry every day. So don’t tell me Who you think I am. You never asked. [Verse 2 — Nathan male] You see the confidence, You see the smile, You think I’ve had it easy all the while. You see the answers, The perfect plan, And think I never doubt who I am. But you don’t know What’s underneath. You don’t know What I don’t let people see. So don’t decide You’ve solved the mystery. You haven’t even started. [Pre-Chorus — Tegan / Nathan] [TEGAN female:] You think I’m angry just because I can be. [NATHAN male:] You think I’m arrogant because I disagree. TEGAN: You think you know me— NATHAN: You think you know me— BOTH: But there’s a whole world You haven’t seen. [Chorus — Both] BOTH: You don’t know me, You don’t know what I’ve been through. You don’t know the things I hide, The things I never show you. You see one side, You make up your mind, Like there’s nothing more to find. You think you’ve got me figured out— TEGAN: But you don’t— NATHAN: You don’t— BOTH: You don’t know me. [Verse 3 — Tegan female] I learned a long time ago Not to let people get too close. Because when they see the cracks, They think they know the whole story. They don’t. So I built something stronger. A voice they couldn’t ignore. A wall they couldn’t break. And maybe sometimes I push too hard— But that’s how I learned to survive. [Verse 4 — Nathan male] I learned to trust my mind When everything else got complicated. If there’s a problem, Find the cause. If there’s a question, Find the answer. If something doesn’t make sense— Keep digging. Keep trying. Keep going. Because admitting you don’t know Can be harder than knowing nothing at all. [Pre-Chorus 2 — Tegan / Nathan] [TEGAN female:] Maybe I’m more than my anger. [NATHAN male:] Maybe I’m more than my pride. [TEGAN female:] Maybe there’s something I’m protecting— [NATHAN male:] Maybe there’s something I hide. BOTH: Maybe we’re both so busy fighting That we never stop to see— There’s more underneath Than either one of us believes. [Chorus — Bigger] BOTH: You don’t know me, You don’t know what I’ve been through. You don’t know the things I hide, The things I never show you. You see one side, You make up your mind, Like there’s nothing more to find. You think you’ve got me figured out— TEGAN: You don’t know me! NATHAN: You don’t know me! BOTH: You don’t know me! [Bridge — Music Drops] [TEGAN female:] Maybe someday I’ll tell you why. Maybe someday I’ll let you inside. But not tonight. [NATHAN male:] Maybe someday I’ll stop pretending That I always know what I’m doing. Maybe someday I’ll let somebody see That I don’t have every answer. [TEGAN female:] Maybe we’re not so different. [NATHAN male:] Maybe that’s what scares me. [TEGAN female:] Don’t get ahead of yourself. [NATHAN male:] Wasn’t planning on it. [TEGAN female:] Good. [NATHAN male:] Good. [Beat.] BOTH: Still… You don’t know me. [Final Chorus — Full Production] [TEGAN female:] You don’t know the fire— [NATHAN male:] You don’t know the doubt— [TEGAN female:] You don’t know the reasons— [NATHAN male:] You don’t know what’s inside— BOTH: You don’t know me! You don’t know what I’ve been through! You don’t know the parts of me I never show to you! You see one side, You make up your mind— But maybe there’s more If you look a little closer this time. You think you’ve got me figured out— [TEGAN female:] You don’t! NATHAN: You don’t BOTH: You don’t know me! You don’t know me! You don’t know me! [Outro — Quiet] TEGAN: Maybe someday… NATHAN: Maybe. TEGAN: We’ll see. NATHAN: Maybe. BOTH: But for now… You don’t know me. [Music ends.]
