You think that you know everything
But really, you hardly know me
You never claim to know all
But your cocky attitude says it for you
You act like you know me perfectly
You think that you know my secrets
But half the time I lie to you
Even my emotions become false
I act for you, I completely pretend
I have an imaginary world set up for you
You seem to believe what I say
But I always act, you seem to suspect me
You think that you know what happens
When I go home to my parents
You think you know that I get hurt
But you don't know what really happens
You don't know the pain of being called names
By the people who are supposed to love one most
You think you know what they say, and you might
But I doubt that you have been hit for crying
You think you know all my secrets
The people I care about, including you
I love you, yet I hate you
And I let you know of both
But still you think you can break my heart
And you think it wouldn't hurt
Just because it's you, not others
That doesn't mean that rejecting me doesn't hurt
You think you know why I cut and such
But have I ever told you directly
That sometimes I want to cut because of you?
It really hurts when you reject me
I think that I love you
I think that I hate you
I think that...
You think too much.
