[Verse 1] You see a face and write the story Before you ever hear the words You fill the silence with conclusions Then wonder why you feel unheard You take a glance and call it knowing Take a fear and call it fact Build a picture from assumptions Then defend it when it cracks [Pre-Chorus] We fill the spaces we don't understand With little stories we can hold in our hands [Chorus] You built a world inside your head And called it truth, called it fact You never stopped to question it You just kept building on that Maybe I'm not who you imagined Maybe you're not who you think you are We're all just telling ourselves stories In the dark, beneath the stars [Verse 2] Some were handed down like scripture Some were taught before we knew Some were born from someone's heartbreak Some from things that weren't even true We learn to fear what we don't know We learn to trust what we've been told And sometimes what we call our freedom Is just a story we've been sold [Pre-Chorus] We fill the spaces we don't understand Then draw the lines and call them solid land [Chorus] You built a world inside your head And called it truth, called it fact You never stopped to question it You just kept building on that Maybe I'm not who you imagined Maybe you're not who you think you are We're all just telling ourselves stories In the dark, beneath the stars [Bridge] What if the truth is not an answer? What if it's something we discover? What if saying, "I don't know" Is where we finally start to grow? What if the walls we built for safety Are the walls that keep us blind? What if reality was waiting Just beyond the edge of our minds? [Final Chorus] You built a world inside your head And called it truth, called it fact But maybe truth was never asking You to keep defending that Maybe I'm not who you imagined Maybe you're not who you think you are We're all just telling ourselves stories Trying to find our way through the dark [Outro] Leave a little room for questions Leave a little room for doubt Sometimes finding what is real Means letting the story out The world is bigger than our thinking Stranger than the things we know Maybe truth was never something We could build inside our own You built a world inside your head And forgot to look outside You built a world inside your head And forgot to look outside
