(Verse 1)
Don’t you say that, please don’t bleed
You’re more than headlines, more than what they need
I see your name, not just your face
You’re not a picture, you’re not a stage
(Pre-Chorus)
Let them talk, let them scream
They don’t know what you mean to me
Every mask that you hide behind
I’ll break it down, I’ll make you shine
(Chorus)
I don’t care what they say, fame doesn’t matter
No, not to me, not to me
Before I see the person that breathes
Not the person who tries to be
I don’t care if the world believes the lie
I’ll be the truth they can’t deny
I see the soul you try to free
Before I see the person that breathes
(Verse 2)
You don’t have to fight alone
I’ll hold the weight they’ll never know
Beyond the lights, beyond the screen
There’s a heart that I believe in
(Pre-Chorus)
Every crown is heavy gold
But I’ll be here when it feels cold
Every scar that they can’t see
I’ll trace it back to who you really be
(Chorus)
I don’t care what they say, fame doesn’t matter
No, not to me, not to me
Before I see the person that breathes
Not the person who tries to be
I don’t care if the world believes the lie
I’ll be the truth they can’t deny
I see the soul you try to free
Before I see the person that breathes
(Bridge soft + raw)
Let the world take their piece
I’ll keep the part that’s real to me
No title, no disguise
Just the person I see with my eyes
(Final Chorus emotional build)
I don’t care what they say, fame doesn’t matter
No, not to me, not to me
Before I see the person that breathes
Not the person who tries to be
And I don’t care if the world believes the lie
I’ll be the truth they can’t deny
I’ll love the soul you try to free
Before I see the person that breathes
