They see the mask you wear
They hear the words you never mean
They judge the way you care
But never look behind the scenes
You’ve got your scars, you’ve got your pain
But underneath, you’re not to blame
And I’ve seen sides they’ll never see
The way you open up to me

They think you're cold, they think you're cruel
But I know you're just scared to lose
You build your walls up high and wide
But I still find my way inside

They just don’t know you like I do
Don’t see the light that’s breaking through
They only see the storm, not all the skies you’ve walked me through
They don’t hear the words you never say
Or the way you try to change
I see the truth behind the fight
You’re more than what they paint in black and white
They just don’t know you
Like I do

They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't
They just don't know you (they just don't know)
They just don't know you (they don't know)
They just don't know you like I do

You hold the world on quiet shoulders
Never ask for help, just grow colder
But I know the way you love runs deep
Even when you lose sleep for me

You’ve been burned too many times
So you wear armor in your eyes
But when you smile and let me close
That’s the boy I love the most

They call you reckless, call you wrong
But they don't know what you've been on
I see the fire behind your fear
And every word you need to hear

They just don’t know you like I do
Don’t see the light that’s breaking through
They only see the storm, not all the skies you’ve walked me through
They don’t hear the words you never say
Or the way you try to change
I see the truth behind the fight
You’re more than what they paint in black and white
They just don’t know you
Like I do

They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't
They just don't know you (they just don't know)
They just don't know you (they don't know)
They just don't know you like I do

Let them talk, let them doubt
I’ll still be here when the lights go out
You don’t have to prove a thing
You’re my reason, you’re my everything

They just don’t know you like I do
Don’t see the love I see in you
They only see the flaws, but I see every part you’ve made it through
They don’t feel the way your silence screams
Or how you fight for all your dreams
But I believe in who you are
'Cause I know your soul, I know your heart
They just don’t know you
Like I do

They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't
They just don't know you (they just don't know)
They just don't know you (they don't know)
They just don't know you like I do
Yeah, they just don’t know you
Like I do
