Nobody Knows

[Verse 1] I smile when somebody asks me how I’ve been Say “I’m good,” like I always do Nobody sees the war I’m fighting Nobody knows what I’m going through I got bills sitting on the counter Got a phone full of “you okay?” Got a little bit of hope in my pocket And a whole lot of shit I never say [Pre-Chorus] Everybody knows my name But nobody knows me Funny how you can be surrounded And still feel so lonely [Chorus] Nobody knows How many times I almost gave up Nobody knows How close I came to calling it quits I keep saying “tomorrow” Like tomorrow’s gonna save me But I’m still waking up Trying to become somebody Nobody knows But maybe somebody will [Verse 2] I’ve lost people I thought would stay forever Lost pieces of myself along the way Had to learn how to laugh in the middle of heartbreak Had to learn how to make it through the day And there’s somebody sleeping down the hallway Who thinks I’m stronger than I am So I wipe the tears before I walk in And smile like everything’s okay again [Pre-Chorus] Everybody sees the picture Nobody sees the frame Everybody loves the sunshine Nobody asks about the rain [Chorus] Nobody knows How many times I almost gave up Nobody knows How close I came to calling it quits I keep saying “tomorrow” Like tomorrow’s gonna save me But I’m still waking up Trying to become somebody Nobody knows But maybe somebody will [Post-Chorus] Maybe somebody will Maybe somebody feels this too Maybe somebody’s listening Thinking, “Damn… that’s me too” [Bridge] If you’re driving home alone tonight And you’re fighting back the tears If you’re pretending you’re alright Just to make it through another year I don’t know your story You don’t know mine But if you hear this song Maybe we’re both gonna be alright [Final Chorus] Nobody knows How many times I almost gave up Nobody knows How hard it was to get back up I keep saying “tomorrow” But tonight is all I’ve got So I’m taking every broken piece And giving it everything I’ve got Nobody knows Who I’m becoming yet Nobody knows How far I’m gonna get But if you’re still here breathing Then maybe that’s enough Nobody knows my story But maybe now they will. [Outro] Maybe now they will… Maybe now they will… Nobody knows.
