You Don’t See Me - bbritt
[Intro]
Been walking years in the quiet of myself,
everyone speaking like they’ve lived in my mind.
All these voices drawing borders round my life,
but none of them ever crossed the line.
[Verse 1]
You trace outlines like you know the shape,
guessing at truths you’ve never touched.
You talk loud like you earned the insight,
narratives built from a distance you clutch.
I moved through rooms where I shrank my voice,
let people name things they’d never seen.
But I’m done bending to a story you wrote—
none of it aligned with who I’ve been.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you never walked these edges,
why you acting like you hold the map?
[Chorus]
You don’t see me—
only shadows of what you think I am.
You don’t get me—
but you speak like you understand.
You don’t know me—
not the life I hold beneath.
You don’t see me,
so don’t you dare call it truth or belief.
[Drop / Break]
see me… see me… you don’t see me…
[Verse 2]
You paint my life in the colours you prefer,
fit me inside frames I never chose.
You judge steps you never had to take,
call it clarity—like the world just froze.
I’ve lived in silence you couldn’t survive,
carried storms you’d never claim.
You skim the surface and call it knowledge—
but you never learned my flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you never held this weight,
why you speaking like you’ve lived my past?
[Chorus]
You don’t see me—
only shadows of what you think I am.
You don’t get me—
but you speak like you understand.
You don’t know me—
not the life I hold beneath.
You don’t see me,
so don’t you dare call it truth or belief.
[Bridge]
you don’t… see me now…
you don’t… see me now…
[Drop 2]
see me now… see me now…
you don’t see me…
[Final Chorus]
You don’t see me—
only shadows of what you think I am.
You don’t get me—
your certainty was never fact.
You don’t know me—
not the life I built beneath.
You don’t see me,
and you don’t get to call it truth for me.
[Outro]
You don’t see me.
Never did.
