You Don't Remember Me

I don't know what I did to you
I just remember what you did
Ten years later, I'm still scared of you
And even now I feel it build and build and build
Little girls aren't meant to cry like that
To be told just how we feel
I was way too young to understand
Everything got a bit too real

To be thrown down the stairs for saying the wrong word
And they cut my hair, I lost all my self-worth
And just to be stared at by everyone
Wondering what did I really do

You don't remember me, but I remember you
You make me feel like shit every day of my life
You should know that too
And in the way the world
Apparently revolves around you
'Cause at the end of the day
You don't know me, but I know you

I don't understand your problems
Or why you choose to make them mine
I just wanted to enjoy my life
And you just wanted me to die
Made it clear every single day
How much I burdened your time
Maybe little me can explain
Just how much you made her cry

You don't remember me, but I remember you
You make me feel like shit every day of my life
You should know that too
And in the way I dress
All influenced by you
'Cause you make me feel like it wasn't okay to be in the room

You don't remember me, but God, I remember you
You told me girls should shut up, be quiet, sit down
I don't think that's true
And the way the world
Apparently revolves around you
'Cause at the end of the day
You don't know me, but I know you

But to you, I'll be a passing glance, someone who's overlooked
The girl who just put up with it and took your hard right hook
But to you, I'll be a passing glance, someone who's overlooked
The girl who just put up with it and took your hard right hook
Oh, I know you
Oh, I know you

You don't remember me, but I remember you
You make me feel like shit every day of my life
And I hope that lives with you
