[Verse 1]
Spring air through an open screen
Brand new sheets, but I don’t know what it means
Sunlight dancing on a quiet floor
I learned real young not to talk much anymore

Cul-de-sac, riding in circles
Fast as hell but going nowhere on purpose
Creek water, crawdads in my hand
Little king of a nowhere land

[Pre-Chorus]
Top of the class, they said I was gifted
But no one saw how the silence shifted

[Chorus]
Nobody knew I was lonely inside
Smiling loud but I had nowhere to hide
Undefeated on the field, I was gold
But no one ever asked how I’d hold

All that quiet… all that weight
A kid too smart just learning to wait
For someone to see what I never showed
Nobody knew… so nobody knows

[Verse 2]
TV rolling in the classroom light
Challenger falling from the sky that night
Everyone froze, I just stared ahead
Something cracked but nothing was said

Second base with dirt on my knees
Football nights, yeah we never lost a season
Cocky grin but I stayed real still
‘Cause at home you learn what silence can kill

[Pre-Chorus]
Too damn smart for the lines they drew
So I broke the rules like I always do

[Chorus]
Nobody knew I was lonely inside
Skipped those halls just to feel alive
Arcade lights and a Burger King crown
Whole damn world but I still felt down

All that quiet… all that weight
A kid outgrowing every cage they made
Running fast but stuck in place
Nobody saw behind my face

[Bridge]
GT bike and a runaway mind
Mall lights glowing like a different life
Printed “NOT” just to watch it burn
Guess I always needed something to turn

Chaos calling but I stayed unseen
Somewhere lost between loud and clean
Just a kid with a storm held tight
Learning how to disappear in plain sight

[Final Chorus]
Nobody knew I was lonely inside
Not the wins, not the laughs, not the pride
From the creek to the field to the screen
I was there… but never seen

All that quiet… built this soul
Every crack made the story whole
You hear it now, but back then it showed,
Nobody knew…

…so nobody knows
