The song "I Don't Think You Know" is about a relationship that is not working out. The singer, John West, is stuck on the person he is with, despite knowing that it is not a good fit. He needed to know if the relationship was real for him, but the other person only had one foot out the door. The chorus encourages the listener to let go of their feelings and to let them change. The singer knows that the relationship was almost right, but he cannot continue living like this. He has waited for the other person, but they do not seem to understand or see him for who he is. The singer has tried to make it work, but he now wishes that he had not given the relationship a chance in the first place. In the end, the singer decides to let go of his feelings and move on. He knows that he deserves better and has better things in store for himself. The song is a reflection of the struggles of a failing relationship, and the decision to let go and move forward.
