You Don't Know
The Gromble Lyrics

The song "You Don't Know" by The Gromble is about someone who is listening to someone they care about talk, but is constantly doubting their words. The first verse describes how the listener has their back turned, as if they are trying to avoid the worst-case scenario that might result from the conversation. The listener acknowledges that words are just words, but when they come from the person they are listening to, they are important to them.

The chorus of the song talks about the person being listened to being too afraid to truly open up and let the listener in. They say what they want to say, but the listener can tell that there is something they are holding back. The listener then says to the person that they don't know them, and that they are missing out on getting to know them by being too afraid.

The second verse describes the listener leaving to clear their mind of what was said, and coming back with a bitter taste in their mouth. This could imply that although they want to trust the person speaking to them, they are still wary because they feel like they don't know the person well enough. The listener then dreams about someone other than the person they were speaking to, implying that they are still searching for connection and understanding even though they are having a hard time with the person they are currently trying to connect with.

Overall, the song is about wanting to connect with someone but feeling like there are obstacles in the way, either from the other person's fear or the listener's own doubts. It's an introspective look at the difficulty of creating close relationships and the frustrations that come with it.
