[Intro] Yeah. They see the smile but they don't see the war behind it. I guess it's easier that way. [Verse 1] I wake up every day, put a mask on my face. Look in the mirror like you got to be okay. I've so used to hiding what I feel inside. Now I don't even know what's real inside. Yeah. They say I'm strong cuz I never break down. They don't see me when there's nobody around. They don't hear thoughts that I fight in my head. They don't see nights when I'm crying in bed. I laugh with people just to play my part, but deep inside I got a broken heart. Every conversation just to cover up. Every I'm fine is a lie I trust. [Pre-Chorus] I built these walls so they can't look in, but now I'm trapped with the pain within. And every time I try to explain, I stop cuz I know they won't feel my pain. [Chorus] They don't see my pain. They just see my face. They don't know the war that I fight every day. They don't hear my thoughts. They don't feel my rain. They just walk right by. They don't see my pain. [Verse 2] I've been carrying weight that they'll never know. Smiling outside, but I'm dying slow. Every step feel heavy like chains on my feet, but I still walk strong every time we meet. I wish I could open up, tell them the truth, tell them how I'm barely holding on to my youth, tell them how I question if I'm enough, or if this life just made me too tough. I hate how I push everybody away, then hate myself at the end of the day. I built this distance, now I'm alone. Scrolling my phone, but nobody's home. And maybe it's me, maybe I'm to blame. Maybe I'm addicted to hiding the pain cuz every time someone asked if I'm okay, I just smile and slowly walk away. [Chorus] They don't see my pain. They just see my face. They don't know the war that I fight every day. They don't hear my thoughts. They don't feel my rain. They just walk right by. They don't see my pain. [Verse 3] I'm tired of pretending I'm doing all right. Tired of fighting these battles at night. Tired of feeling like nobody knows the version of me that nobody shows. I wish they could see what's under the skin. The chaos, the noise, the war within. The tears that fall when nobody's there. The silent screams that fill the air. But I get it, it's easier just to look fine. People don't got time for a broken mind. So I keep it locked, I keep it sealed, even though it's slowly getting real. And maybe one day I'll find the strength to speak my truth without restraint. But until that day I wear this face and hide the depth of all this pain. If I told you everything, would you stay or walk away? If I let you see my scars, would you judge me anyway? [Bridge] Yeah. So this is for the ones like me who hide their pain so no one sees, who fights their battles silently, and carry weight so heavily. You're not weak cuz you feel this way. You're just human at the end of the day. Every scar that you try to hide is proof that you survived inside. You don't got to fake it all the time. You don't got to suffer in your mind. The strength in opening up your soul is healing and letting it go. And even if they never understand, just know your pain still makes you a man or a woman strong enough to remain even when they don't see your pain. [Chorus] They don't see my pain. They just see my face. They don't know the war that I fight every day. They don't hear my thoughts. They don't feel my rain. But I'm still standing even through the pain. [Outro] Yeah. Maybe they don't see it, but that don't mean it's not real... Maybe one day they will. You know... if you're listening to this right now, and you feel like you're fighting a war nobody else can see... I just want you to know you're not invisible to me. Take off the mask for a second. Breathe. You don't have to carry it all alone tonight. (Beat drops to silence)
