[Verse 1] I can stand in a room full of people who love me Still feel like I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea Everybody's laughing, but nobody can see That I'm counting down the seconds till I'm finally free [Pre-Chorus] Nobody's ever done a single thing wrong I just don't know how to say I don't belong I've got these words stuck somewhere behind my teeth With nowhere left to put them but underneath [Chorus] It's not that you don't see me, it's that I don't let you look the closed sign on a door, the never-opened book I could scream it from the rooftop, I could say it plain and clear And still feel just as far away as when I'm standing here [Verse 2] I used to think if I just tried a little harder I'd feel the things they feel, become a little smarter Now I just smile on cue and fake it all the time Playing the part so well I lose what's mine [Bridge] I'm not asking you to fix it I'm not asking you to pretend I just needed one more minute Before I put the mask back on again [Chorus] It's not that you don't see me, it's that I don't let you look the closed sign on a door, the never-opened book I could scream it from the rooftop, I could say it plain and clear And still feel just as far away as when I'm standing here
