Lyrics

You Don't Know Me (Devra Wolf, 2006)

You came to see me when you heard that I was leaving
You tell me I should stay right here where I belong
I cannot live within the script that you have written
I need to find a way to make my life my own

You don?t know me anymore
How can you cry for me
You don?t see the world outside your own front door
You don?t understand what you?re living for
I won?t hide inside the way we did before
And you don?t see that you don?t know me anymore

You say I?m losing all the answers we worked for
I don?t know that they were mine to hold
And in your voice I hear a tone of condemnation
Tell me when did you become the voice of god?

You don?t know me anymore
How can you cry for me
You don?t see the world outside your own front door
You don?t understand what you?re living for
I won?t hide inside the way we did before
And you don?t see that you don?t know me anymore

I want to walk in a rainstorm
I want to stand under a waterfall
I want to swim with a dolphin
I want to live

You don?t know me anymore
How can you cry for me
You don?t see the world outside your own damn door
You don?t understand what you?re living for
I won?t hide inside the way we did before
And you don?t see that you don?t know me anymore

I want to sleep in a forest
I want to climb a pyramid
I want to sing with a wolf
I want to live?I want to live?I want to live
