If you see me walk on by and you'd like to know who I am
Well you'd better not even try 'cause I'm not going to shake your hand
I'd much rather be alone 'cause I've heard it all before
You say that you will never go, but then you walk out the door

You don't want to know me
You don't want to know me
'Cause I'm not ever going to be your friend

I'm sure that you're really kind but that doesn't change my view
Everyone will leave throughout time, it doesn't matter who
So I'd rather not learn the name of someone who's sure to leave
I'm tired of dealing with all of the pain from loved ones you no longer see

You don't want to know me
You don't want to know me
'Cause I'm not ever going to be your friend

I used to be quite a friendly guy
But I've become sick of believing everybody's lies
So those days are through
I'm done playing the fool

You don't want to know me
You don't want to know me
'Cause I'm not ever going to be your friend
I'm tired of meeting people who just play pretend
