[Verse 1] I fold my face Before the dawn I leave no trace And move along In crowded rooms I play it cool But I keep the bruise Like a private jewel [Pre-Chorus] If I laugh too loud It cracks the glass If I speak my mind It burns too fast So I bite my tongue And let it fade What I hide in me Stays out of frame [Chorus] No one knows, no one knows What I carry home No one knows, no one knows How I walk alone I keep it tight I keep it low No one knows, no one knows No one knows [Verse 2] At the corner store I buy my bread Say I’m doing fine And nod my head The receipt prints out Like proof I’m here But none of this Gets held too near [Pre-Chorus] If you ask me now I’ll change the line I got good at sweet And half-truth signs But under my coat There’s a storm in tow And I wear that weight Wherever I go [Chorus] No one knows, no one knows What I carry home No one knows, no one knows How I walk alone I keep it tight I keep it low No one knows, no one knows No one knows [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll let it show Put my hands out And let you know Till then I move Like water, slow With a whole dark world That no one knows [Final Chorus] No one knows, no one knows What I carry home No one knows, no one knows How I walk alone I keep it tight I keep it low No one knows, no one knows No one knows
