"You don't know you the way I do"
So when I first heard this line of a song I thought that it was super creepy. Like wow, you stalk them so hard that you know their life better than they do? Weird. But the more I thought about, the less I think that's what it means. "You don't know you the way I do" doesn't necessarily mean "I know you better than you do." It could just mean that I know you differently than the way you know yourself. Which, I think, is true for everyone. I know myself from the inside, but everyone else knows me from the outside. There are many things about myself that only I know, but there are some things that I don't know about me that other people do. How I react to things; how I am in certain situations--even how I feel about some things. Sometimes people point out things about me that I didn't even realize myself. All because they know me from the outside and I never can. So no, people don't know me better than I know myself--that's kind of impossible. But they know me differently than I do.
