Do you see something that you strongly relate to and then feel sad because it's a truth you need to accept about yourself or your situation?

As they say ignorance is bliss, but sometimes the knowledge just slaps us upside the head and we can't go back

You Just Don't Know Me

I woke today, with tear stained
eyes
Dreams so real that I hurt inside
Thoughts of people no longer
here
Thoughts of the end that’s growing
near
Wasted words spoken to deaf
ears
Wasted tears shed throughout the
years
Childhood memories of family torn
apart
Forever changed my growing
heart
And I realize ...

I’ll never get it back

CHORUS

Happy man I appear outside
Lonely man hidden deep inside
First to laugh, brighten up the
room
Camouflage for my endless gloom
Try to tell me how to live my life
Tell me all the things I don’t do
right
You can walk in my shoes
But they just won’t fit
I’m fighting every day to just not
quit
So realize…

You just don’t know me

END CHORUS

Telling myself it will be alright
Fooling myself, extinguished light
Sadness filled life for all these
years
Making you laugh while holding back
my tears
Reaching for hope, that slips
through my grasp
Turning around and keep looking
back
Trying to give love with a leaking
heart
Plan to win the race then trip at
the start

And I realize…

I’ll never get it back

CHORUS

Happy man I appear outside
Lonely man hidden deep inside
First to laugh, brighten up the
room
Camouflage for my endless gloom
Try to tell me how to live my life
Tell me all the things I don’t do
right
You can walk in my shoes
But they just won’t fit
I’m fighting every day to just not
quit
So realize…

You just don’t know me

Reality is check is important, I agree ignorance can be a bliss, however, it can only go so far, if one wants to progress in life and do something meaningful than must recognize the shortcomings and move forward with a goal/plan in mind to overcome the failures.
