Don't Want to Know
Date: 11/11/2002
trust me, you don't want to know me
you don't want to have to deal with my history
it's something that i carry
day in and day out
it doesn't even matter what the story's about
sometimes you're in and then you're out
and in the end
it's not about the characters,
the story, or the plot
cuz happy endings are just for the movies
not for the real life
the whole time you find
that it started with a white lie
and the next time
it's bigger and the crowd grows
you know everybody likes to talk yo
and it's way more fun to go running with a story
than to ask someone for their side
cuz if they're right, then it's done and the fun's gone
back to your boring lives, 9 to 5
the most exciting thing to write's
a monologue posted on your weblog
well maybe that's your own fault dawg
hey that's not for you, that's for the haters
the ones who can't face us
the ones who spend their lives
talking trash until they die
and i know you ain't that type
but the truth is you don't know me
and i know some may say these views are mine alone
but in this short time i've come to care enough
to save you from my darker side
so trust me, you don't want to know me
you don't want to have to deal with my history
it's something that i carry
day in and day out
it doesn't even matter what the story's about
just trust me, you don't want to know me
you don't want to have to deal with my history
it's something that i carry
day in and day out
it doesn't even matter what the story's about
eventually you'll see what this song's about
but it doesn't change the outcome
the plot explodes like a shotgun
and there's nothing that can piece it back together
so whatever, i'm done, i'm through with it all
just keep your paws off my jaw
or i'll be calling in the rage
to finish up the last page
of this book about your life and death
with a focus on the death part
i'm gonna try to walk away
hey, it's a start, sure
nobody's expecting an overnight cure
for a lifetime of aggravation
fueled by the haters who have no relation
to me except their wannabee dreams
that will never come true
they're too scared to pursue
something bigger than me or you
something maybe worth doing
not just talking about
and what about you
do you think you can face the truth
well, do ya?
trust me, you don't want to know me
you don't want to have to deal with my history
it's something that i carry
day in and day out
it doesn't even matter what the story's about
please trust me, you don't want to know me
you don't want to have to deal with my history
it's something that i carry
day in and day out
it doesn't even matter what the story's about
