Do You Really Know Me?

Do you know my favorite color?
Do you know what I believe?
Do I keep my thoughts hidden
Or wear my heart out on my sleeve?

Because I know I never told you
But I hoped that you could see.
And it makes me wonder if you
Ever paid attention to me.

Do you know about my sister,
The one I talk so much about?
Do you know what makes me mad,
What makes me want to shout?

Because I know you overheard me.
Did you make a mental note?
Did you take it down in your mind
Like the last few words you wrote?

Do you know who my best friend is?
Do you know how close we are?
Do you know that I spend every night
Wishing on each first star?

Because I know that you could tell.
I know that you could see.
Did you notice something different
When you laid your eyes on me?

Do I believe in miracles,
Do I believe in fate?
Do you know the things I love?
Do you know the things I hate?

Because I don't try to hide it.
I keep it upfront for all to see.
Did it surprise you to realize
How imperfect I could be?

Do you know what makes me laugh?
Do you know what makes me cry?
Do you know it hurts that our first hug
Was our first hug goodbye?

Because I know I never told you
But I hoped that you could see.
And it makes me wonder if you
Ever paid attention to me.
