You Don't Know
Flinch feat. Ellie Goulding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognize the street
Please don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside the cars speed by
I know you care, I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care
I use to run down the stairs, to the door
And I thought you were there
To shape to the comfort of us
Two lovers loved out of love
Oh, but I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
I know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
Now I don't want my hands in a coat
But I still hope
'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream?
Do I care to dream?
'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know you care
I know you care
I know it's always been there
The song You Don't Know by Flinch feat. Ellie Goulding is a beautiful yet tragic depiction of love and its struggles. In the first verse, the singer talks about how her lover was like a home to her, but now she doesn't recognize the street. This may be a metaphor for how their relationship has changed, and they no longer feel comfortable or at ease with each other. The second verse talks about how the singer knows her partner cares for her, but she can sense that trouble is on the horizon. She believes that her partner is hiding something and only saving themselves, which is why the relationship is doomed to fail.
The chorus reinforces this sentiment, as the singer talks about how she used to think her partner was always there for her. But now, she knows that trouble is coming, and she must save herself from the impending ruin. The bridge delves deeper into the complexities of the relationship, as the singer acknowledges that it wasn't always wrong. She talks about how she wishes for things to be different and hopeful that they could still work out despite all the struggles they're facing.
Overall, You Don't Know is a poignant song that perfectly captures the bittersweet nature of love and relationships. It shows how even when we care deeply for someone, sometimes things just don't work out, no matter how much we wish they could.

Clinging to me
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognize the street
You were so close to me, like a last breath I’d ever take
You felt so familiar, like home
But now everything has changed, I don't even recognize the street
Please don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside the cars speed by
I never heard them until now
Please don’t stop paying attention
A world without you feels so unfamiliar
The outside world still moves without you
But I have ignored it before now
I know you care, I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care
I know you’re there for me, and you always have been
But I can sense there is a problem ahead
You’re only looking out for yourself by keeping it from me
I see it in the way you look at me
As if you know something bad is coming, and it's making you worried
But I’ll be protecting myself from getting too hurt
And I know that you care
I use to run down the stairs, to the door
And I thought you were there
To shape to the comfort of us
Two lovers loved out of love
Oh, but I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead, and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
I used to run down the stairs to see if it was you at the door
I was so certain that it was
We both relied on each other for comfort
As lovers in love
But I know now that you care
You always have
But I can feel that something is coming our way
You’re only trying to protect yourself by keeping it from me
And I see it in the way you look at me
Like you know that something bad is coming
But I’ll be protecting myself from total disaster.
I know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
Now I don't want my hands in a coat
But I still hope
'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the worst of it wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream?
Do I care to dream?
I know that everything wasn’t always bad
But I’ve never been this cold in my life
I don’t even want to wear gloves now
But there’s still hope
This is how things should have been
And even though everything was bad
It wasn’t as bad as it seemed
Why can’t I dream?
Do I even want to dream?
'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know you care
I know you care
I know it's always been there
Because I know you really do care
And I know you always have
I know you care
I know you care
I know you care

You don't know what you do,
You don't know what you do
You don't know what you do,
You don't know what you do
You don't know what you do,
You don't know what you do
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know what you do
It's just a feeling inside me
You don't know what you do
Wait a minute down to find me
You don't know what you do
It's just a feeling inside me
You don't know what you do
Wait a minute down to find me
I feel like I want you wanna start
A part of me, my favorite scar
It's like a storm to never cease
It's all take thing the missing piece
You don't know what you do
It's just a feeling inside me
You don't know what you do
Wait a minute down to find me
You don't know what you do
It's just a feeling inside me
You don't know what you do
Wait a minute down to find me
I feel off guard, you are my star
A part of me, my favorite scar
It's like a storm to never cease
It's all take thing the missing piece
You don't know what you do,
You don't know what you do
You don't know what you do,
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
You don't know what you do.

I really like Ellie Goulding's music. I was surprised to find out Big Sean sampled this. Its one of the best songs on his new album.
