Lyrics
My face is my feeling
My outward expression reflects my emotions.
That's what they really think
Others believe this is an accurate portrayal of me.
You can stare all you want
People can look at me as much as they want.
But I stand in the way
I'm determined to remain present and not let others dictate.
I got a big smile on
I outwardly show happiness while hiding my desire to escape.
So you don't know I wanna run
My true feelings differ from what I display.
So much going on
There's a lot happening within me.
That I can't escape
My circumstances are overwhelming, making it hard to break free.
I can never choose if it's best to say
I struggle to decide whether to express myself.
What if all the burdens make em run away
I fear my troubles might push people away.
Why do all my thoughts tend to complicate
My thoughts tend to overcomplicate situations.
Every time you ask if I'm okay
When asked, I find it hard to admit if I'm not okay.
I've been so fixated on what you see
I'm too focused on how others perceive me.
Even though I'm blurry it's a part of me
Even though I'm unclear, this ambiguity is a part of who I am.
Centre of attention, all eyes on me
I attract attention, yet there's more to me than what's seen.
Even if I love it all I can say
Even if I enjoy it, there's more to my experience.
They don't really know me
Others have a limited understanding of who I truly am.
My heart strings always lonely
I feel consistently emotionally isolated.
I try to push myself outside
I attempt to step out of my comfort zone.
But I'm always on the edge of a knife
But I'm always on the brink of emotional turmoil.
They don't really
Reiteration of others' lack of understanding.
They don't
-They don't really know me
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
-Love sex and crazy dreams
Desire, pleasure, and intense aspirations took me too far.
This trip took me way too far
This experience has left me speechless and wounded.
I can't even talk
The impact feels lasting, like a scar.
Like it left a scar
Loosing all the passion I once had
I never anticipated this change in myself.
I never thought that could be me
My younger self felt different from who I am now.
When I was sixteen that felt so good
Now, I feel misunderstood and disconnected.
Now I feel so misunderstood
I can never choose if it's best to say
Reiteration of others' limited understanding of me.
What if all the burdens make em run away
-Why do all my thoughts tend to complicate

-I've been so fixated on what you see
-Even though I'm blurry it's a part of me
-Centre of attention, all eyes on me
-Even if I love it all I can say
-They don't really know me
Continued emphasis on others' lack of comprehension.
My heart strings always lonely
-I try to push myself outside
-But I'm always on the edge of a knife
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
-If told them
If I revealed my truth, it'd paint a different picture.
My brain is blue
-Family's a mess
-My name is cursed
-Heart's off beat
-No dopamine
-Well they would never believe me and that's why
-They don't really know me
Reiteration of feeling emotionally distant and misunderstood.
My heart strings always lonely
-I try to push myself outside
-But I'm always on the edge of a knife
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
-They don't really
Final emphasis on others' lack of true knowledge about me.
They don't
-They don't really know me
-They don't really
-They don't
-They don't really know me
