You Don't Even Know Me

Never been one to second guess
I overthink, yes
But, not when it comes to matters of the heart
I trust my gut when it comes to that
I trust my gut, yes!
And yet your words ring in my ears
And they resonate
And they stick and they stay superglued to my brain
"You don't even know me"
And I wanted to scream
"Don't you think I know that?"

It's scary to be this passionate about someone I just met
It's scary to care, to give, to want so bad for a stranger
So yeah you're probably right
So yeah let's take it slow
So yeah let's not commit to anything
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, I'm fine

"You don't even know me"
I know, I know, I know
I know this is crazy
And I'm spiralling
Going back and forth, a tug of war
My heart moves faster than my brain is ready for

"You don't even know me"
And yet I do, and yet I do, and yet I do
Feels like I do
So why doubt that?
Should've told you
Should've said something smarter, something more heartfelt, something that makes sense
But, my mouth moves so much faster than my brain can correct

You don't even know me
Perhaps it's better if you don't
