Ali Chapman - Do You Know Me?

Do you think you know me?
Do you really?

Do you know I love you?
Do you know I can’t live without you?
Do you know that what I need most is for you to hold me and tell me you love me?

Do you know that all I’ve ever tried to do is make people happy?
Do you know how sorry I am for the times this has hurt you?

Do you know that my family means the world to me?
Do you know how much I hate knowing its always you I hurt the most?
Do you know I love to see you smile?
Do you know it breaks my heart to see you cry?

Do you know that sometimes you drive me crazy?
Do you know that despite that I still love knowing you are near?

Do you know that I am so grateful to you for bringing me up instilled with such good values, faith and knowledge?
Do you know the guilt I feel for not making the most of them?
Do you know that I hate myself for letting you down?
Do you have any idea how many tears I have cried over the mess I have made of my life?
Do you know how much pain I have caused those I love most?
Do you know how often I have wanted to punish myself, even to death, for that?

Do you know you made me stronger than that?
Do you know how determined I can be?
Do you know I’ll get better?
Do you know that I will earn your love, your trust and your pride?
Do you know I will become a better person?

Do you know that I will always be your little girl?
Do you know I’ll never be too big to need you?
Do you know that I’ve grown up?
Do you know that sometimes you’re going to have to let go?

Do you know that I don’t know you?
Do you realise that the more I know you, the less I understand?

Do you know that I love you?
Do you know me?
Do you love me?
