You Know
D. Ramirez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you knew my name
(Yeah you knew the name)
Pretended like all those years
Yeah, they were fake
(Yeah, they were fake)
Tell me you'd always stay
But you ran away
Forget everything I said
Remember this instead
Say it to my face and throw it all away
Your gonna choke if you don't spit out the words
Say that it was make believe
Try and forget everything
Block my number and delete the pictures
Your stupid shit talks and your little whimpers
It's getting very icky to see
Who was there when you needed a shoulder?
Since no one showed up
(Showed up, showed up)
Cause you were always complaining
And I told you this game wasn't fun
(Wasn't fun, wasn't fun)
Tell me that people know not to trust you
(Not to trust you)
You know you can take it from me since I've been lied to
(Yeah I've been lied too)
Tell me that you didn't mean it
But you've said that before
(You've said that before)
Look at where my fingers pointing
Yeah, there's the door
I can't believe that you find the joy in
Making people miserable and
Telling everybody everything that you see
Notice that we don't hear it
You're below the world stop being conceited
Getting very interesting
They can feel you staring
Who was there when you needed a shoulder?
Since no one showed up
(Showed up, showed up)
Cause you were always complaining
And I've told you this game wasn't fun
(Wasn't fun, wasn't fun)
Peace of mind, I know I'll find it
You're a waste of time no way to hide it
Tell me I was wrong for trying
You're predictable you can't disguise it
And why was I there when you needed a shoulder
Cause no one showed up
(Showed up, showed up)
And you were always complaining
But I've told you this game wasn't fun
(Wasn't fun, wasn't fun)
You know my name
The lyrics of "You Know" by D. Ramirez delve into the complexities of a strained relationship marked by betrayal and dishonesty. The singer expresses feelings of betrayal and disbelief towards the other person who pretended to be a friend but ultimately proved to be fake. The repetition of the phrase "Acted like we weren't friends, But you knew my name" highlights the conflicting nature of the relationship - one where the other person knew the singer's identity but chose to act as though they were strangers.
The lyrics further convey a sense of disillusionment as the singer reflects on the promises made by the other person to always stay, only to have them run away when faced with difficulties. The sense of hurt and abandonment is palpable as the singer questions why the other person chose to disregard their words and actions. The sharp contrast between the initial facade of friendship and the subsequent betrayal underscores the emotional turmoil experienced by the singer.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more assertive and holds the other person accountable for their actions. The refrain "Say it to my face and throw it all away, You're gonna choke if you don't spit out the words" embodies a sense of confrontation and a demand for honesty. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment towards the other person's manipulative tendencies and a penchant for causing distress to those around them.
Overall, "You Know" paints a vivid picture of a toxic relationship marred by deceit and emotional manipulation. Through introspective reflections and candid expressions of hurt, the singer seeks closure and asserts their boundaries. The narrative arc of the song captures the journey from trust and friendship to betrayal and disillusionment, culminating in a final assertion of self-worth and a release from the damaging dynamics of the relationship.

Acted like we weren't friends
Pretended to not have a close relationship
But you knew my name
You were well aware of who I am
Pretended like all those years
Acted as if the past was insincere
Yeah, they were fake
Yes, those years were not genuine
Tell me you'd always stay
Promised to never leave
But you ran away
Yet you chose to abandon
Forget everything I said
Disregard all my words
Remember this instead
Recall this particular piece of information
Say it to my face and throw it all away
Confront me directly before discarding everything
Your gonna choke if you don't spit out the words
You will struggle if you don't express yourself
Say that it was make believe
Admit that it was all a fantasy
Try and forget everything
Attempt to erase all memories
Block my number and delete the pictures
Block communication and remove all traces
Your stupid shit talks and your little whimpers
Your foolish chatter and weak complaints
It's getting very icky to see
Becoming distasteful to witness
Who was there when you needed a shoulder?
Who supported you in times of need?
Since no one showed up
As nobody came forward
Cause you were always complaining
Because you consistently expressed dissatisfaction
And I told you this game wasn't fun
And I warned you that this situation was not enjoyable
Peace of mind, I know I'll find it
I am confident I will discover tranquility
You're a waste of time no way to hide it
You are not worth my time, and it's clear
Tell me I was wrong for trying
Convince me that my efforts were mistaken
You're predictable you can't disguise it
You are easily anticipated and cannot conceal it
And why was I there when you needed a shoulder
And why did I support you when you required assistance
Cause no one showed up
Since no one else offered help
And you were always complaining
And you constantly voiced grievances
But I've told you this game wasn't fun
Yet I already informed you that this situation was unpleasant
You know my name
You are familiar with who I am
