[Intro: Female Voice – Cold, Sarcastic] Maybe you're just scared. Maybe you like playing the victim. So what’s your truth then, huh? Say something real for once. Go ahead. I'm listening. [Chorus] People don't know me They don't know me They try to own me But they don't own me Walk through the smoke, they don’t even see Say what I mean, but they stare at a screen People don't know me They don’t know me They try to own me But they don’t own me [Verse 1] I walk in the crowd with a mind full of silence Smiles on their faces, but the air feels violent I’m talking out loud, but no one’s around I say it out loud, but I'm standing in a crowd They throw their words like they’re fixing me But they don’t know the half of the things I’ve seen Got ghosts in my chest that I learned to keep Still they try to read me like I’m just some tweet I’m not broken, I’m not clean I’m just swimming in a place they’ve never been Yeah, I sit in my room, don’t need to speak Sometimes I sit in my room, no one to judge me the wrong way, peace [Bridge] They label me fast, they draw me wrong But I don’t need them to sing my song I walk alone but my heart still beats No chains on me, I don’t need their seats [Chorus] People don't know me They don't know me They try to own me But they don't own me Look at my face, but they just don’t see Words in my mouth, but they won’t believe People don't know me They don’t know me They try to own me But they don’t own me [Verse 2] Tired of nodding, tired of the show I been too quiet, they’ll never know How much I carry, how deep it runs My calm is louder than their loudest guns Sit in the dark just to feel okay Close all the tabs, make the noise go away They think I’m gone, but I’m still awake They think I’m fake, but I’m just opaque No one ever asked what I really meant Only heard the parts that fit their intent But I’m done with the play, I won't pretend If they never knew me, this is where it ends [Chorus – Final] People don't know me They don't know me They try to own me But they don't own me Yeah, I speak soft, but the truth cuts deep I say it out loud, but I'm standing in a crowd People don't know me They don’t know me They try to own me But they don’t own me
