[Intro- instrumental only, no humming or vocals until first verse] [Verse 1] There’s a version of me That only shows up at night When the house is finally quiet And I can’t outrun my mind Replaying old conversations Like I could change what was said Trying to find the moment I got lost inside my head [Pre-Chorus] And I know I’m not the only one Who’s learned to look okay Saying “I’m fine” without thinking twice Because it’s easier that way [Chorus] We all have a story Nobody ever hears Smiling through the moments While swallowing our tears Maybe we’re not lost Maybe we’re just afraid Of all the things we’re feeling But never learned to say Verse 2 We ask “how you doing?” But don’t wait for the truth We’re all a little tired Pretending we’re bulletproof There are names we don’t mention Places we no longer go And hidden parts of who we are Still trying not to show [Bridge] Maybe everybody’s hiding Something they don’t understand Maybe everybody’s searching For someone to take their hand Not to fix it Not to change it Not to tell them it’s okay Just someone who can sit there And not look away... [Final Chorus] We all have a story Nobody ever hears The parts we keep protecting The parts we hide for years Maybe we’re not lost Maybe we’re just afraid Of all the things we’re feeling But never learned to say [outro fades out melodically without vocals]
