I said it’s not that you don’t care
It’s that I don’t need to care
‘Cause nobody truly cares about me

I said it’s not that you don’t love
It’s that I don’t need love
‘Cause nobody truly loves me

Not the real me
Nobody knows me
Not the real me
Nobody knows me

Inside I want to die
But I stay alive

In touch with your mood
I move around you
I never damage your web

In tune with your head
I play your muse
Never off-track, instead,

I don’t exist I
Only exist in my mind
I don’t enjoy I
Only enjoy my mind

In this world of masks and lies I feel lost,
I can’t disguise
The pain I hold inside

But I keep going,
day by day Hoping that somehow,
someway Things will get better,
and I’ll find my way

I know it’s hard to understand The way I feel,
the way I am But I need to be true to myself,
to be free

And even though I might seem cold
I have a story that’s yet untold And someday,
I hope someone will see

The real me, the one inside The one that I’ve been trying to hide, And maybe,
just maybe,
they’ll care and love me.
