Lyrics
[Intro]
You call me
By a name
That was never
My own
[Verse 1]
You never sat beside my bed
When I was weeping for a man
You never heard the prayers I said
When I could hardly stand
You never watched me love the ones
You said I cast away
You never saw the truth I kept
The nights you wouldn't stay
[Pre-Chorus]
You drew a line
You drew it fast
You never asked
You never asked
[Chorus]
You don't know me
You don't know my heart
You don't know the tears I've spent
On the ones you pulled apart
You don't know
The love I carry
You don't know
The joy I hold
You don't know what truth has cost me
You don't know the Hand that holds me
[Verse 2]
You call it weakness when I love
You call it compromise when I stay
You call me traitor for the smile
I give the ones you sent away
You never walked the road I walked
You never paid the price I paid
You never heard the Voice that called me
To the love I would not trade
[Pre-Chorus]
You drew a line
You drew it fast
You never asked
You never asked
[Chorus]
You don't know me
You don't know my heart
You don't know the tears I've spent
On the ones you pulled apart
You don't know
The love I carry
You don't know
The joy I hold
You don't know what truth has cost me
You don't know the Hand that holds me
[Bridge]
But He knows
He has always known
Every chapter I have written
Every silent prayer and groan
And He loves me
And I love Him
And the name you called me by
Was never the name I was given
[Final Chorus]
You don't know me
And you don't have to
But He does
And that is enough
You don't know
The love I carry
You don't know
The joy I hold
You don't know what truth has cost me
You don't know the Hand that holds me
[Outro]
You don't know me
You don't know me
But He does
And that is enough
