I help everyone, I'm always there when they need a friend, When they need to talk to me, Just me Because I'm the one who listens. I know all of their stories, I know what everyone's going through, I know what makes them sad, And I know what makes them... Smile. I'm there when they're crying, I'm there when they're happy, I'm there when they don't even need me, And I'm still there Even when they're gone. I know my friends Better than I know myself, And I can read their thoughts, Their emotions, I know exactly what they need. But, ah, alas, Nobody knows a thing about me. They say they do, But Do they? They only know what I've told them, They only know what I pretend, They've only met The happy side Of me. When I'm crying I run to nobody. I stay and deal with it myself They don't need to know That their protector is breaking. They don't know that I have heaps And weights pushing down, Things that are threatening to **** me, To drain every ounce Of my happiness. I fight on for them, I smile so they don't have to know What I go through. I smile so that way They do too. When I'm crying, yes, I type happy thoughts. Behind an Internet screen, Nobody knows, Yes... nobody knows.

Nobody Knows
I help everyone, I'm always there when they need a friend, When they need to talk to me, Just me Because I'm the one who listens. I know all of their stories, I know what everyone's going through, I know what makes them sad, And I know what makes them... Smile. I'm there when they're crying, I'm there when they're happy, I'm there when they don't even need me, And I'm still there Even when they're gone. I know my friends Better than I know myself, And I can read their thoughts, Their emotions, I know exactly what they need. But, ah, alas, Nobody knows a thing about me. They say they do, But Do they? They only know what I've told them, They only know what I pretend, They've only met The happy side Of me. When I'm crying I run to nobody. I stay and deal with it myself They don't need to know That their protector is breaking. They don't know that I have heaps And weights pushing down, Things that are threatening to **** me, To drain every ounce Of my happiness. I fight on for them, I smile so they don't have to know What I go through. I smile so that way They do too. When I'm crying, yes, I type happy thoughts. Behind an Internet screen, Nobody knows, Yes... nobody knows.
