Nobody Knows

Intro

(oh-oh) Soft light fading...

Verse

Step in the crowd, shoulders squared up tight

Fake a grin wide, own the whole damn night

Talk big game, swing my arms like I own the fight

But my voice shakes low when I'm out of sight

Pre-chorus

They slap my back, call me king of the crew

Buy the act, but it ain't ever true

Deep down I'm crumbling, holding on by a thread

Wishing someone saw the storm in my head

Chorus

I'm tough on the outside, yeah I'm tough

Breaking on the inside, not enough

Nobody sees me, nobody knows

In the dark alone, that's where I go

Cry it all out, let the tears just flow

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

Verse

Mirror lies back, tough guy staring me down

Punch the air hard, never make a sound

Friends all laugh, think I'm bulletproof steel

But I'm paper-thin, scared of how they feel

Pre-chorus

They raise a glass, toast to my unbreakable vibe

Miss the fracture lines, the hurt I hide

One wrong word and I'd shatter right there

Choking on feelings, gasping for air

Chorus

I'm tough on the outside, yeah I'm tough

Breaking on the inside, not enough

Nobody sees me, nobody knows

In the dark alone, that's where I go

Cry it all out, let the tears just flow

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Bridge

Wanna scream it out, rip the mask away

Show 'em the kid who's afraid every day

But the world's too loud, they'd never hear

So I swallow it down, disappear

Chorus

I'm tough on the outside, yeah I'm tough (tough)

Breaking on the inside, not enough (not enough)

Nobody sees me, nobody knows (nobody knows)

In the dark alone, that's where I go

Cry it all out, let the tears just flow

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

(oh-oh) Nobody knows

Nobody knows

Outro

(oh-oh) In the dark... nobody knows

(oh-oh) Fade away...
