NOBODY SEES THE FIGHT

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Male Lead, Gritty and Emotional] They see me laughing, they think I’m strong They never see what I’ve battled all along I show up for the people counting on me Give them everything they need me to be [Female – Strong Response] But nobody asks what it costs to stand When you’re holding the world in your hands [Male Lead] I give them strength when I’ve got none left Hide the truth behind every breath There’s a thousand thoughts I never say A million things I push away [Pre-Chorus – Male Lead, Female Harmonies Building] And I keep saying I’m alright Just trying to make it through the night If you could see behind these eyes You’d know how hard I fight [Chorus – Male Lead Dominant, Female Powerful Harmonies] You don’t see the battles I’m fighting inside You don’t hear the screams I keep locked up inside I wear that smile, say I’m doing fine But you don’t see the war that’s raging inside I’m still standing, though I’m breaking apart You see the face, but you don’t see the scars I keep on going, keep playing my part Nobody sees the fight inside my heart! [Verse 2 – Male Lead] I carry the weight, never let it show There’s so much pain that nobody knows Some nights I wonder how much I can take How many pieces can a person break? [Female – Strong, Gritty Response] You never see the tears behind the smile Or how it takes everything just to survive [Male Lead] But when the morning comes, I’m back on my feet Another day, another fight to beat [Pre-Chorus – Both, Building Intensity] And I keep saying I’m alright Just trying to make it through the night If you could see behind these eyes You’d know how hard I fight [Chorus – Both, Full Power] You don’t see the battles I’m fighting inside You don’t hear the screams I keep locked up inside I wear that smile, say I’m doing fine But you don’t see the war that’s raging inside I’m still standing, though I’m breaking apart You see the face, but you don’t see the scars I keep on going, keep playing my part Nobody sees the fight inside my heart! [Instrumental – Short, Emotional Electric Guitar Solo] [Bridge – Male Lead, Stripped Back] Maybe I’m tired of pretending Maybe I’m tired of the pain Maybe I just need somebody To see I’m not okay [Female – Strong, Emotional Full Voice] I’m not made of stone I’ve got battles of my own You see me standing, you think I’m strong But I’ve been fighting all along [Male Lead – Building] I don’t need you to fix me I just need a little room to breathe [Both – Building to Explosive Finish] There’s a fight behind this silence And we’re still fighting to be free! [Final Chorus – Male and Female Together, Explosive] You don’t see the battles I’m fighting inside You don’t hear the screams I keep locked up inside I wear that smile, say I’m doing fine But you don’t see the war that’s raging inside I’m still standing, though I’m breaking apart You see the face, but you don’t see the scars I keep on going, keep playing my part Nobody sees the fight inside my heart! Nobody sees the fight! Nobody sees the fight! [Outro – Both, Powerful] Nobody sees… Nobody sees the fight inside my heart!
