I Don't Know You
The Marías Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you laid and you said
"I don't know you
I don't know you"
If we tried to retrace
Would it show on my face?
And remind you
I don't mind you
And babe, this isn't right
But if you'd rather dry your eyes
Then honestly I'm fine
With keeping my trust in you
It's time to walk in my shoes, it's true
I've tried, makin' it up to you
But if I did all that I had to do
Would you be here in my room?
There's a weight in my bed
Where you laid and you said
"I don't know you
I don't know you"
If we tried to retrace
Would it show on my face?
And remind you
I don't mind you
I may have been alright
But babe, it's only half the time
And honestly I'm fine
With keeping my own advice
And making up if we tried
I'm hardly unsatisfied
You're not heels over head
But darlin'
There's a weight in my bed
Where you laid and you said
"I don't know you
I don't know you"
If we tried to retrace
Would it show on my face?
And remind you
I don't mind you
The Marias's song "I Don't Know You" explores the complexity and confusion that comes with failed relationships. The lyrics depict a scenario where the singer is lying in bed with someone who once loved her but now seems to be a stranger. The weight in her bed where he once laid is a constant reminder of how things have changed between them. The lyrics, "I don't know you, I don't mind you," highlight the mix of emotions that comes with the end of a relationship: the sadness of losing someone you loved and the relief of not having to deal with the pain anymore.
The singer tries to come to terms with the situation, acknowledging that it isn't right, but is willing to let go instead of trying to hold on to something that isn't working. She questions whether going back and retracing their steps would make a difference, but realizes that she no longer wants to do that. The line, "It's time to walk in my shoes, it's true," shows how much she has grown in the process and no longer wishes to be stuck in the past. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how much the weight in her bed represents the change in their relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a weight in my bed
There's a heaviness in my heart and a tangible feeling of your absence in my bed
Where you laid and you said
Where we shared intimate moments and you expressed that you don't feel like you know me
"I don't know you
"I don't feel a deep connection or understanding of who you truly are
If we tried to retrace
If we attempted to revisit our past experiences and conversations
Would it show on my face?
Would my facial expressions give away my disappointment or hurt from your lack of emotional investment?
And remind you
And prompt you to recall
I don't mind you
That I don't hold any resentment towards you for not fully knowing me
And babe, this isn't right
And sweetheart, this situation isn't healthy or conducive to a fulfilling relationship
But if you'd rather dry your eyes
But if you need to cry and process your emotions, I understand
Then honestly I'm fine
Then honestly, I am okay with giving you space and time
With keeping my trust in you
I am choosing to believe in your intentions and hope for a better future between us
It's time to walk in my shoes, it's true
You need to empathize with my perspective and acknowledge my feelings as well
I've tried, makin' it up to you
I have made efforts to improve our relationship and make amends for any mistakes I've made
But if I did all that I had to do
But even if I did everything in my power to please you and improve our bond
Would you be here in my room?
Would you still choose to be with me and share intimate moments?
I may have been alright
I may have seemed okay or content
But babe, it's only half the time
But in reality, my happiness and contentment with our relationship is fleeting and inconsistent
And honestly I'm fine
And honestly, I am content with focusing on my own happiness and well-being
With keeping my own advice
With following my own guidance and intuition
And making up if we tried
And making amends if both of us put in the effort
I'm hardly unsatisfied
I am not hard to please or overly demanding
You're not heels over head
You're not entirely infatuated or deeply in love with me
But darlin'
But my dear
There's a weight in my bed
There's a heaviness in my heart and a tangible feeling of your absence in my bed
Where you laid and you said
Where we shared intimate moments and you expressed that you don't feel like you know me
"I don't know you
"I don't feel a deep connection or understanding of who you truly are
If we tried to retrace
If we attempted to revisit our past experiences and conversations
Would it show on my face?
Would my facial expressions give away my disappointment or hurt from your lack of emotional investment?
And remind you
And prompt you to recall
I don't mind you
That I don't hold any resentment towards you for not fully knowing me

Lyrics:
There's a weight in my bed
where you laid and you said
I don't know you 2x
If we tried to retrace
Would it show on my face
and remind you I don't mind you
and babe, this isn't right
But if you ever dry your eyes
then honestly I'm fine
with keeping my trust in you
It's time to walk on my shoes
It's true, I tried making it up to you
If I did all that I had to do
would you be here here in my room?
There's a weight in my bed
where you laid and you said
I don't know you 2x
if we tried to retrace
would it show on my face
and remind you I don't mind you
I may have been alright
But babe, It's only half the time
and honestly, I'm fine
with keeping my own advice
and making up if we tried
I'm hardly unsatisfied
You're not heels over head, but darling
There's a weight in my bed
where you laid and you said
I don't know you 2x
if we tried to retrace
would it show on my face
and remind you I don't mind you
You're welcome. ❤

It hits me straight into the heart. You’re awesome both. I’m happy that I’ve discovered this peace of gold on internet wastelands.
I’m feeling it inside my soul. I’m trembling inside.
Your style. Your voice. Your smile. You both are spreading harmony around. And I love how it’s feels.
This is the first time in my life when I’m really want to know more about singer.
I can’t find words to describe all my feelings about you and your song, but other people have already done that much better than me.
Your voice and songs inspire me.
Thank you.
