[Intro] Everybody sees the picture... Nobody sees the frame. [Verse 1] I walk through the room like I know where I'm going Smile for the cameras while nobody's knowing Everybody asks me how I'm doing these days I say "I'm good" and I walk away I learned how to hide every crack in the glass Turn pain into something that looks like the past They see the clothes, they see the lights They never see what keeps me up at night [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I'm stronger than I look Maybe I'm just good at hiding Every chapter of the book That I never let you read [Chorus] Nobody knows what it costs to be me Nobody sees what I don't let them see I smile for the world, then I disappear Everybody knows my name Nobody knows why I'm here Nobody knows Nobody knows What's behind these eyes Nobody knows [Verse 2] I became everything they expected I'd be Somewhere along the way I forgot about me You can win every race and still lose your direction You can hear a thousand voices and still feel disconnected I've had people around me who never came close I've had empty rooms that knew me the most Sometimes silence tells you everything Sometimes being alone is where you start to breathe [Chorus] Nobody knows what it costs to be me Nobody sees what I don't let them see I smile for the world, then I disappear Everybody knows my name Nobody knows why I'm here Nobody knows Nobody knows What's behind these eyes Nobody knows [Rap Verse] Yeah... I built these walls before I knew I needed doors Learned to say I'm fine when I couldn't say much more Everybody wants the highlight, nobody wants the weight Everybody loves the victory, nobody asks what it takes I don't need sympathy, I need somebody real Someone who can sit in the silence and still No questions, no judgment, no trying to repair Just somebody who can stay when there's nothing there I've been running from the mirror, trying to outrun the past But every road I take keeps bringing me back Maybe strength ain't never showing that you bleed Maybe strength is finally letting somebody see [Bridge] If I let you in Don't mistake it for weakness If I show you the truth Don't turn it into a secret I don't need you to save me I just need you to stay Because sometimes being seen Is enough to change everything [Final Chorus] Nobody knows what it costs to be me Nobody sees what I don't let them see But maybe tonight I don't have to disappear Everybody knows my name Maybe somebody finally knows why I'm here Nobody knows Nobody knows But maybe now Somebody knows [Outro] Take away the lights... Take away the name... There's still a person here.
