Do You Really Know Me

You ask me how my day was And I give you a polite reply While the house of cards I built for you Is falling from the sky You know my favorite color And the songs I used to play But did you notice how the light inside my eyes Just slipped away And it’s quiet in the silence That you never try to break How much of this performance Do you need me to make? Do you really know me Or do you just know my name? Do you love the real disaster Or the shadow in the frame? You can look right through my eyes But you never touch the soul Are you holding onto pieces Or just watching me let go? (Let go…) (Let go…) Bet you don't hear the tremor When my voice begins to shake You don't see the heavy weight Of every promise that you break You’re holding up a mirror But it's showing what you want Not the ghost of who I used to be That comes around to haunt And it’s quiet in the silence That you never try to break How much of this performance Do you need me to make? Do you really know me Or do you just know my name? Do you love the real disaster Or the shadow in the frame? You can look right through my eyes But you never touch the soul Are you holding onto pieces Or just watching me let go? (Let go..) (Let go..) If I vanished in the morning Would you notice I was gone? Would you even miss the music Or just keep on playing on? Did you ever really want me Or just someone in the room? Were you tending to a garden Or just watching flowers bloom.. Do you really know me Or do you just know my name? Do you love the real disaster Or the shadow in the frame? You can look right through my eyes But you never touch the soul Are you holding onto pieces Or just watching me let go? (Let go..) (Let me go..) Do you really know me? Or are you just scared of the dark? You're standing right beside me... ...and you couldn't see my heart
