[Verse 1] Everybody's talking soft around here Like they're hiding something I don't wanna hear Pictures on the walls got their eyes on me And nobody says what they really mean Keep your voice low, keep your hands clean Smile for the cameras nobody sees Funny how they laugh when the lights go out Funny how they whisper when you're not around [Pre-Chorus] They all know something They all know something I don't And maybe that's the reason I never feel at home [Chorus] Careful what you say around strangers in the hall They might know your secrets better than you know them all Everybody's watching, waiting for the fall So keep your head down around strangers in the hall [Verse 2] Everybody acts like they're doing fine But the cracks show through if you give it time Everybody's got a lock and key Everybody's scared of what they might see Keep your mask on, don't make a scene That's how it's always been around me Funny how the silence gets so loud Funny how you're lonely in a crowd [Pre-Chorus] They all know something They all know something I don't And maybe that's the reason I never feel at home [Chorus] Careful what you say around strangers in the hall They might know your secrets better than you know them all Everybody's watching, waiting for the fall So keep your head down around strangers in the hall [Bridge] Maybe I'm the odd one out Maybe they're just like me now Looking for a place to hide Trying not to lose their minds Maybe we're all wearing faces Trying not to leave our traces Maybe nobody belongs Maybe we've been lost all along [Final Chorus] Careful what you say around strangers in the hall Everybody's carrying shadows down the walls Nobody is innocent, nobody stands tall We're all just trying to survive these empty halls [Outro] Careful what you say around strangers in the hall They might know your secrets better than you know them all Everybody's watching, waiting for the fall So keep your head down around strangers in the hall
