AllRise – Don't Even Know Me lyrics

Father, who am I supposed to be?
You seem disappointed
When you see the real me

And when we talk
I try to guess
How you measure success
It's hard enough
To be myself
Without you wishing I was someone else

And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me

Father, I just want to know
Can you see me trying
Not to let the pain show

And if you can, then recognize
There's someone behind my eyes
Who looks to you for some support
Before life proves that it's much too short

And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me

It's hard enough to be myself

Father

And when we talk
I try to guess
How you measure success
It's hard enough to be myself
Without you wishing I was someone else

And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me
You don't even know me
