The parts I don’t show

Verse 1

I smile in the daylight, laugh like I’m okay

But every night I’m fighting thoughts I can’t escape

I tell everybody, “Yeah, I’m doing fine”

But I’m breaking in pieces, every single time

I wear my hoodie like a shield on my chest

Hide all the scars that live inside my head

They see the surface, never see below

All the parts of me I never show

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been screaming in silence

Praying someone will hear

But my voice keeps hiding

Behind all this fear

Chorus

I’ve got other sides of me

That nobody knows

A heart full of memories

And invisible ghosts

I’m strong in public, weak when I’m alone

Fighting my demons on my own

This is the truth I can’t outgrow

The parts of me I don’t show

Verse 2

There’s parts of me that fell in broken pieces

From growing too fast, from losing my reasons

I never got to be a kid, just learned to survive

Learning how to hurt before learning to cry

I miss the family that used to care

The late-night talks, knowing someone was there

Now I’m standing alone in the overflow

Of everything I was scared to show

Pre-Chorus

I learned to be strong when I wasn’t ready

Carried heavy hearts when mine was unsteady

Smiling through pain, saying “I’m fine”

While I’m losing pieces of myself over time

Chorus

I’ve got other sides of me

That nobody knows

A heart full of memories

And invisible ghosts

I’m strong in public, weak when I’m alone

Fighting my demons on my own

This is the truth I can’t outgrow

The parts of me I don’t show

Bridge

I’m holding on when it’s hard to breathe

When every doubt is next to me

When my past keeps calling my name

Trying to pull me back to pain

But I’m still here, still alive

Still learning how to survive

Still choosing hope over fear

Even when it’s unclear

Chorus (Soft then Strong)

I’ve got other sides of me

But that’s alright

Every broken piece still fights

For a little light

I’m holding on, I’m standing tall

Even after losing it all

This is the story I now know

I’m more than what I don’t show

Outro

Yeah, I grew up way too soon

Under broken stars and a fading moon

But I’m still here, still whole

Learning to love my wounded soul

I’m more than my pain, more than my past

I’m holding on, and I’ll make it last
