You Don't Know Me Lyrics
You think you know me
Got me figured out
Your casting shadows
Forget about the doubt
You think you know me
You think I care
You should spend some time sometime with the person in the mirror
I'm a fist, I'm afraid, I'm a link in the chain
I'm the worst of the best, but I'm in this race
You don't know me
I'm a knife, I'm a rope, I'm a bitter pill
I'm a tooth on the cog that you built to spill
You don't know me
I'm not defined by what you think I am
I won't fall into your predetermined file
All like diamonds without the shine
If you never take the time you never know what you won't find
I'm a crow, I'm the most with the least to gain
I'm a fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame
You don't know me
I'm a ring on a tree in a life that fell
What I did I done good and what I done I did well
You don't know me
Hate is a river flowing with money and greed
Drawing borders
Lines on a map we don't need
I'm a wall, I'm a fence, I'm a dotted line
I'm the land you kill for in the name of your kind
You don't know me
I'm a storm, I'm a sign, I'm a bleeding heart
I'm the time that got away
It's already gone
You don't know me
Got me figured out
Your casting shadows
Forget about the doubt
You think you know me
You think I care
You should spend some time sometime with the person in the mirror
I'm the worst of the best, but I'm in this race
You don't know me
I'm a knife, I'm a rope, I'm a bitter pill
I'm a tooth on the cog that you built to spill
You don't know me
I won't fall into your predetermined file
All like diamonds without the shine
If you never take the time you never know what you won't find
I'm a fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame
You don't know me
I'm a ring on a tree in a life that fell
What I did I done good and what I done I did well
You don't know me
Drawing borders
Lines on a map we don't need
I'm the land you kill for in the name of your kind
You don't know me
I'm a storm, I'm a sign, I'm a bleeding heart
I'm the time that got away
It's already gone
You don't know me

I think this song is about someone not knowing the singer >_>
XD
great song though
Unbelievably great lyrics...its rare anymore for an artist to write a meaningful song where none of the verses are repeated lyrics. The meaning of the song is quite obvious, but the lyrics are actually quite obscure.
I won't fall into your predetermined file should be "I won't fall into your predetermined PLAN"
Correct lyrics straight from their website:
