I Don't Know
Joanne Accom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started out just as friends
Never thought that we would end up like this
Now my heart was for you
Cant believe that i found a love so true

You dont care for me , you dont understand
What you meant to me when you were my man
Now its over and you don't comprehend
That there is no one no baby
Please take me back

I don't know who you are
Your not who you used to be
I rememeber when you used to look at me differently
Now you dont talk to me , boy you cant even see

I miss who you really are
I cant see how you've gone this far
You dont even know me now i see i need to leave
Boy you just lied to me , your not the one for me

Now im here all alone
You wont know cuz you dont care at all
Now i said to myself that my love was for you and no one else
Still i want you here ,
But it interfears with the way i feel after all these years
You dont seem to be what you were to me
No more baby just go ahead and leave

I dont know who you are
Your not who you used to be
I rememeber when you used to look at me differently
Now you dont talk to me , boy you cant even see

I miss who you really are
I cant see how you've gone this far
You dont even know me now i see i need to leave
Boy you just lied to me , your not the one for me

I dont know who you are
Your not who you used to be
I rememeber when you used to look at me differently
Now you dont talk to me , boy you can't even see

I miss who you really are
I cant see how you've gone this far
You dont even know me now i see i need to leave
Boy you just lied to me , your not the one for me

You changed your ways your not the same
I wish that we could go back to yesterday

I dont know who you are
Your not who you used to be
I rememeber when you used to look at me differently
Now you dont talk to me , boy you cant even see

I miss who you really are
I cant see how you've gone this far




You dont even know me now i see i need to leave
Boy you just lied to me , your not the one for me
