VERSE 1 You talk like you’ve seen my life Like you’ve walked these shoes of mine But you don’t know the nights I cried Or the weight I hide behind my smile You think I’m just another face Easy to blame, easy to hate But you never even tried to see The real human underneath PRE-CHORUS You paint your stories in your head But none of it’s the truth I said CHORUS You don’t know me So stop acting like you do You don’t know what I’ve been through Or the scars I hide from you You see a mask, not what’s inside You just love to twist the lines Say whatever makes you feel free But you don’t know me VERSE 2 You call me weak, you call me fake But I’m just choosing not to break I could fight back, I could burn it all But I’d rather stand and watch you fall I’m quiet, not ’cause I’m scared But ’cause my anger’s still being spared If I let it out, you’d see The side I keep to protect me PRE-CHORUS So keep your whispers, keep your lies I’m done proving I’m alive CHORUS You don’t know me So stop acting like you do You don’t know what I’ve been through Or the scars I hide from you You see a mask, not what’s inside You just love to twist the lines Say whatever makes you feel free But you don’t know me BRIDGE I’m not silent ’cause I’m scared I’m silent ’cause I care I’m learning how to hold my fire Not feed your fake desire ’Cause peace is louder than a scream And I’m stronger than I seem FINAL CHORUS You don’t know me So stop acting like you do You can hate me, you can choose But your words won’t make me lose I’m not broken, I’m just real And I don’t need your fake ideal So keep your judgment, let it be You’ll never know me
