Ever looked at all the people
Who seem to know exactly how to be
You think
They don’t need piles of prescriptions to function naturally
Well look again and you might catch it
Just stay a minute more
There’s this little moment after the sunny smile
As their eyes fall to the floor
And the truth starts peeking through
They’re a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too
The anonymous ones never let you see the ache they carry
All of those anonymous ones
Who never name that quiet pain they bury
So they keep on keeping secrets
That they think they have to hide
But what if everybody’s secret
Is they have that secret side
And to know they’re somehow not alone
Well that’s all they’re hopping for
What if they didn’t have to stay anonymous anymore
Spot the girl who stays in motion
She’s been so fast so she won’t fall
She’s built a wall with her achievements
To keep out the question
Without it is she worth anything at all
So nobody can know
Just what the cracks might show
How deep and dark they go
There are those anonymous ones
Stuck inside the perfect frame they’re faking
All of us anonymous ones
Who pick themselves apart ’till they start breaking
And we keep on keeping secrets
That we think we have to hide
But what we really need is somebody to see that secret side
And to know we’re somehow not alone is all we’re hoping for
And then we wouldn’t have to be anonymous anymore
The parts we can’t tell we carry them well
But that doesn’t mean they’re not heavy
The parts we can’t tell we carry them well
But that doesn’t mean they’re not heavy
The anonymous one
Noticed by none
The parts we can’t tell we carry them well
But that doesn’t mean they’re not heavy
The parts we can’t tell we carry them well
But that doesn’t mean they’re not heavy
The parts we can’t tell we carry them well
But that doesn’t mean they’re not heavy
The anonymous ones might just need this moment to remind them
That there are more anonymous ones they’re out there
If you take the time to find them
Just to know we’re somehow not alone
Isn’t that all we’re ever really looking for
Maybe we we don’t have to be anonymous anymore
