In this song, Diana is describing what it’s like for to live with her mental illnesses. Dan trying to be understanding by telling her that ‘he knows’ essentially made her feel misunderstood, and here’s she’s explaining how much dan doesn’t know.
[DIANA, spoken]
Oh, you know? Really? What exactly do you know?
[DAN, spoken]
I know that you're hurting, alright? I am, too.
[DIANA]
Do you wake up in the morning and need help to lift your head?
Do you read obituaries and feel jealous of the dead?
It's like living on a cliffside, not knowing when you'll dive
Do you know, do you know what it's like to die alive?
When a world that once had colour fades to white and grey and black
When tomorrow terrifies you, but you'll die if you look back
You don't know
I know you don't know
You say that you're hurting
It sure doesn't show
You don't know
It lays me so low
When you say, "Let go"
And I say, "You don't know"
The sensation that you're screaming, but you never make a sound
Or the feeling that you're falling, but you never hit the ground
It just keeps on rushing at you day-by-day-by-day-by-day
You don't know, you don't know what it's like to live that way
Like a refugee, a fugitive forever on the run
If it gets me, it will kill me, but I don't know what I've done
You Don’t Know was written by Brian Yorkey & Tom Kitt.
