You Don't Know Me
(Althammer/Skeen)
You make fun of me under your breath
Don't you know that i could hear you laugh
Cause I live under this overpass
When you say what kinda man
Can make a living with a tin can
Why cant you look me in the eyes
It was a late night drive down a dim lit street
When a stranger ran into me
Two tons of steel I can feel against my legs
You know there's not much difference tween me and you
Life can change in an instant, second or two
To tell you the truth I still won't wish it on you
You don't know me You don't know me
Now I'm 16 and scared to death
Didn't want to be a mom like this I just want to find a place to hide
You stand there with your protest signs
Yeah everybody's got a right to life
But did you ever stop to think about mine
It was a late night jog down a dim lit street
When a stranger snuck up on me
Nine inches of steel I can feel pressed against neck
You know there's not much difference tween me and you
Life can change in an instant a second or two
To tell you the truth I still won't wish it on you
You dont know me You dont know me
Did you know that I was that guy underneath that bridge
And that little girl almost gave up her kid I'm the man who stretched his arms,
I died for your sins
I was wiped and beat and drug me down the street
And every friend I ever had denied me
Nine inches of steel I can still feel running through my hands
You know theres not much difference between me and you
Life can change in an instant, second or two
To tell you the truth, I still love you
You dont know me
You dont know me
Why don't you know me
You make fun of me under your breath
Don't you know i could hear you laugh
