Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You laugh at all the wrong parts
Change the subject when it gets too close
You say you're fine
You're alright
But your eyes keep writing different notes
I see your hands always restless
Like you're holding back a storm
All these half-finished sentences
I still don't know your true form
[Chorus]
If I only knew the real you
What keeps you up
What pulls you through
Every scar you never mention
Every cracked and crooked truth
If I only knew the real you
Would you let me
Let me in too?
[Verse 2]
You dodge every old photograph
Like the past might pull you out of frame
You carry names like secrets
Won’t even tell me who to blame
You say you hate your birthday
Like years have been unkind
But I would hold each quiet ache
If you'd just let me see inside
[Chorus]
If I only knew the real you
What keeps you up
What pulls you through
Every scar you never mention
Every cracked and crooked truth
If I only knew the real you
Would you let me
Let me in too?
[Bridge]
What if I don't run?
What if I don't flinch?
What if every broken piece
Still fits in my hands like this? (like this)
[Chorus]
If I only knew the real you
What keeps you up
What pulls you through
Every scar you never mention
Every cracked and crooked truth
If I only knew the real you
Maybe then I'd find me too
If I only knew the real you
Would you let me
Let me in too?
