Hide my name

Worn-out shoes, same jeans every day

Laughin’ at me like I’m in your way

You don’t know the gates I could unlock

But I’d rather walk than ride with fake love talk

Gold in my closet, but I wear this pain

Tryna find warmth in the pouring rain

You see a shadow, but I’m more than that

I wear this mask, so I know where you’re at

I hide my name, I dim my flame

You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game

I’m just tryna find someone real, who’ll stay

When they don’t know what I could throw away

I got diamonds, I got fame

But I’d trade it all not to play this game

So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed

Just searching for love, not chasin’ acclaim

Whispers in hallways, they call me a freak

But I could buy the school, burn it down in a week

I smile and nod, I let it slide

‘Cause money can’t fix what’s empty inside

Truth in my silence, pride in disguise

I’m rich in my pocket, but poor in their eyes

I’ve tasted the top, but it’s lonely there

So I walk down low just to see who cares

I hide my name, I dim my flame

You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game

I’m just tryna find someone real, who’ll stay

When they don’t know what I could throw away

I got diamonds, I got fame

But I’d trade it all not to play this game

So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed

Just searching for love, not chasin’ acclaim

One day you’ll know the truth I breathe

That I chose this life so I could see

Who loves me broke, who sees me clear

Not just the name or the souvenirs

I hide my name, I dim my flame

You think I’m nothin’, but I run the game

One day I’ll rise, and they’ll know my face

But only the real ones get to share that space

I got diamonds, I got fame

But real hearts can’t be bought or tamed

So I walk alone, but I’m not ashamed

Still dreaming of love that don’t know my name
