UNBOTHERED (BUT NOT REALLY)

[Intro]
I don’t react the way I feel
and I think that’s what throws people off

[Chorus]
I look unbothered, that’s how it seem
but it’s a lot that I don’t speak

I feel it all, I just don’t show
I learned to hold what people don’t

I keep it calm, I keep it clean
but that don’t mean it don’t hit deep

I just don’t move how I used to be
I don’t let everything out of me

[Verse 1]
I could be feeling something heavy
and you wouldn’t even notice it

not because it’s not there
but because I don’t present it like that

I don’t always say what’s on my mind
I sit with it first

try to understand it
before I give it words

and sometimes by the time I do
it don’t even sound the same

’cause I already processed it
already carried it

already made peace with it
before you even knew it existed

[Chorus]
I look unbothered, that’s how it seem
but it’s a lot that I don’t speak

I feel it all, I just don’t show
I learned to hold what people don’t

I keep it calm, I keep it clean
but that don’t mean it don’t hit deep

I just don’t move how I used to be
I don’t let everything out of me

[Verse 2]
people think I don’t care
because I don’t react fast

like if I’m quiet
it must not matter

but it’s the opposite

I feel everything in real time
I just don’t respond in real time

I don’t say things I can’t take back
I don’t move just to release it

I’d rather sit with it
understand it

than let it come out
in a way I don’t mean

and that control
gets mistaken for distance

[Chorus]
I look unbothered, that’s how it seem
but it’s a lot that I don’t speak

I feel it all, I just don’t show
I learned to hold what people don’t

I keep it calm, I keep it clean
but that don’t mean it don’t hit deep

I just don’t move how I used to be
I don’t let everything out of me

[Verse 3]
so now it looks like I’m unbothered

like nothing gets to me
like I just let things pass

and sometimes I do

but not always

sometimes I just choose not to show it
because I learned
everything don’t need a reaction

everything don’t deserve access
to how I feel

and everything I feel
don’t need to be explained

[Bridge]
but that don’t mean
it didn’t affect me

[Verse 4]
I just don’t express it the same

I don’t fall apart in front of people
I don’t explain every thought

some things I carry quietly
because I know how to

and maybe that’s why it’s misunderstood

because calm don’t always look like depth
and silence don’t always mean nothing

sometimes it just mean
I’m choosing how I show up

[Final Chorus]
I look unbothered, that’s how it seem
but it’s a lot that I don’t speak

I feel it all, I just don’t show
I learned to hold what people don’t

I keep it calm, I keep it clean
but that don’t mean it don’t hit deep

I just don’t move how I used to be
I don’t let everything out of me

[Outro]
I’m not unbothered

I just learned
how to handle it
