If You Really Knew Me

If You Really Knew Me Verse 1 You’d know I’m made of contradictions. I miss people I chose to leave. I’ve forgiven things I still remember, Changed my mind on things I used to need. There are rooms inside me Still meeting for the first time. Old versions at the table Learning they can share a life. Pre-Chorus Maybe growing Isn’t choosing Who was wrong And who was right. Maybe it’s making room For every me That got me here tonight. Chorus If you really knew me, Don’t make me one sentence. Don’t take one chapter And call it the end. If you really knew me, You’d know I’m still writing. Still crossing things out, Still picking up the pen. Love who I was. Love who I’m becoming. If you really knew me, You’d leave a little room For both. Verse 2 Some days I know her in the mirror. Some days I wave like we’re just meeting. Some things I called forever Were only what I needed for a season. The strongest parts came slowly. So did the ones that broke. Funny how becoming Means outliving things We thought we’d always know. Pre-Chorus Maybe a soul Isn’t a puzzle With one missing piece. Maybe we’re a conversation That was never meant To reach complete. Chorus If you really knew me, Don’t make me one sentence. Don’t take one chapter And call it the end. If you really knew me, You’d know I’m still writing. Still crossing things out, Still picking up the pen. Love who I was. Love who I’m becoming. If you really knew me, You’d leave a little room For both. Bridge Don’t hold me hostage To the girl Who only knew survival. She got me here. I love her for it. But she doesn’t get To write the title. Final Chorus If you really knew me, You wouldn’t need an answer For which version Was really me. They’re all mine. Every contradiction. Every wrong turn. Every almost. Every dream. If you really knew me, You’d know I’m still becoming. So don’t finish my story. Just walk with me. Outro There’s still Another page.
