You Don't Know
Scarlett & Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything you touch and you feel confused
Tossed me to the side like an old camera
Filled with pictures of us just being fools
Oh what a shame
It's truly a shame it has to end this way
It's always hard to convey
What I'm trying to say
I don't even know how it ends this way
Somehow you can't help to feel the tension
This was never meant to be my intention
Oh what a shame
It's truly a shame it has to end this way
It's always hard to convey
What I'm trying to say
Don't even look back
You don't even know
How much it kills me to know
That you're never coming back
To me
You don't even know
What it means to lose everything
You don't even know
What it means to lose everything
In the opening lyrics of "You Don't Know" by Scarlett & Black, the singer is addressing someone who has caused them a great deal of pain. The person being addressed, regardless of any personal faults of their own, "doesn't even know what it means to lose". This is a statement about the singer's pain and the depth of it, implying that the person they are talking to has never experienced anything quite like it. When someone hurts you deeply, it's easy to feel like they just don't understand the full extent of your loss or the turmoil it has caused you.
The lyrics go on to describe how this person has treated the singer callously, dismissing them like an "old camera filled with pictures of us just being fools". It's a disrespectful and heartless action, a further indictment of the person the singer is addressing. The singer expresses that it is truly a shame that things have to end this way, a sentiment that is often expressed when a relationship comes to an end. They also acknowledge the difficulty in expressing their feelings in a way that can be understood, describing it as sounding like a broken record of sorts.
The song continues with the singer revealing how much the other person's actions have hurt them. They feel stuck and unable to move on from the pain because of the depth of their feelings. Despite this, the singer seems to want the other person to be happy and move on without them, telling them to "not even look back" and acknowledging that the other person "doesn't even know how much it kills me to know that you're never coming back to me". It's a song about emotional pain, heartbreak, and the difficulty in moving on.
