If only you could see who I am
You'd understand this, hear a little better
If you could only see who I really am
Maybe you'd agree that I've been better

And every time I need to slow down
Everything is getting harder
Do you know I'm feeling low?
Do you know that I've been down?
Every time I see the lights on
I'm flicking off this love of them all
Always gotta keep my mask on
For sure

Won't hold my breath down, baby
I feel time are changing
I am done with feeling this way

'Cause you don't know the real me
Only know what you see
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall
And you don't know how I feel
You see how my heart beats
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall

You only know what you know
when you know it
You only know what you know
when you know it

Not everything turns gold, you see
When you were on, you were on
it doesn't really matter
It's funny how things change when you're strange
am I everything you thought? you used to know

And every time I need to slow down
Everything is getting harder
Do you know I'm feeling low?
Do you know that I've been down?
Every time I see the lights on
I'm flicking off this love of them all
Always gotta keep my mask on
For sure

Won't hold my breath down, baby
I feel time are changing
I am done with feeling this way

'Cause you don't know the real me
Only know what you see
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall
And you don't know how I feel
You see how my heart beats
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall

You only know what you know when you know it
You only know what you know when you know it

It's been a long time
Gotta stand my own ground
I know, I know, It's been a long time
And I know it's my time to show myself

'Cause you don't know the real me
Only know what you see
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall
And you don't know how I feel
You see how my heart beats
When the curtains fall
When the curtains fall

You only know what you know when you know it
You only know what you know when you know it
