You Seem

You Seem

(Verse 1)

You seem strong

But maybe you hide

Behind something

You don’t want me to find

You seem wise

But maybe too much

No one should carry

That kind of hurt

(Pre-Chorus)

You say you’re fine

You say you don’t break

But I’ve seen the cracks

You try to erase

(Chorus)

You seem unshaken

But I know the truth

You wear your armor

Like you’ve got something to prove

It isn’t just your heart

It isn’t just your mind

I feel it in your soul

Because it’s tangled up in mine

You can tell me I’m wrong

You can try to ignore it

But I know

I know

I know

And I’m here for it

(Verse 2)

You seem unbreakable

Strong as they come

Like nothing could touch you

Like nothing has won

But you have broken

And you still do

You just don’t let

Anyone see you

You seem quiet

But heavy inside

Like you’re carrying storms

You keep out of sight

(Pre-Chorus)

You hide your scars

Like they don’t exist

But I see every line

You try to dismiss

(Chorus)

You seem unshaken

But I know the truth

You wear your armor

Like you’ve got something to prove

It isn’t just your heart

It isn’t just your mind

I feel it in your soul

Because it’s tangled up in mine

You can tell me I’m wrong

You can try to ignore it

But I know

I know

I know

And I’m here for it

(Bridge – soft, then build)

Sad… and you are

You just don’t show it

Hurt… and you are

You just don’t know it

(beat… softer)

Or maybe you do

But you won’t let it stay

(build)

I feel the weight

You push away

I feel the silence

You never say

(Final Chorus – big, emotional)

You seem strong

But I know the truth

You’re holding everything

Like it’s all on you

It isn’t just your heart

It isn’t just your pain

I feel it in your soul

Running through my veins

You can tell me I’m wrong

You can try to ignore it

But I know

I know

I know

And I’m here for it

(Outro – stripped down)

You seem…

But I see you
