written by me, ellie rue sung by me, ellie rue produced by arielle, @goodluckari instrumental by me, ellie rue and arielle, @goodluckari lyrics: First verse You always said you knew me better Like you could read me like a page But you still bought daisies in December When I told you I liked tulips anyway Chorus But you never really understood me Not the way I understood you You could name my favorite songs by heart Still miss the things I tried to tell you And you gave her the silver necklace I swore to god I'd never wear Guess that says it all right there You loved me, hell, maybe you cared But you never really understood me Second verse You painted pictures of my future In colors not of my choosing You called me difficult for changing When I was just growing into something new You said I looked prettier in silence Like every thought should stay behind my teeth And every time I tried explaining You'd nod your head and still not hear me speak Chorus Because you never really understood me Not the way I understood you You could tell my birthday to strangers Still not know what I'd been going through And you gave her the silver necklace I swore to god I'd never wear Guess that says it all right there You loved me, hell, maybe you cared Bridge But you never really understood me Always the side character in this movie You claimed we had a history When you weren’t writing about me Final Chorus You never really understood me Not the way I understood you You could tell my birthday to strangers Still not know what I'd been going through And you gave her the silver necklace I swore to god I'd never wear Guess that says it all right there You loved me, hell, maybe you cared
