the way i do

"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.
