If I wander does this mean

That I'm lost out at dark seas

As I bend and break would you see

My loneliness through the broken seams

If I smile would you feel

Happiness that's surly as real 

As inner pain buried inside outer steel

And broken reflections that refuse to heal 

If you knew me

Would you know?

That I'm really not 

Who I always show

If you knew me 

Would you see?

The "other" side 

Within my very being 

If I say I believe in myself

Would you see the truth?

And peer into the real self

As clouds shade doubtful youth

If I cry would it be a surprise

That I do so when I'm out of sight

When darkness falls would you realize

That broken tears can't mend at night

If you knew me

Would you know?

That I'm really 

A doubtful soul 

If you knew me 

Would you see?

The dark side 

I always hide

If I say I know would you believe

That I don't distinguish nor perceive

What I claim to know or even see

My clouds blurry and darken my sea

If you knew me 

Would you know?

That you know me

But truly don't

If you knew me... 

How could you?

For even I see...

That I surely don't
