Nobody Knows
Boyzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls closing more every day
Now I'm dying inside
Nobody knows it but me

Like a clown, I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
That I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just
Tumbling down
I can see it so clearly
But you don't know we're around

Nights are lonely, days so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling inside
And nobody knows it but me

I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I'm screaming at night if I thought you would hear me
My heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me

How broken I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A billion words couldn't say
Just how I feel
A million years from now you?ll know it
I'll be loving you still

Nights are lonely, days so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

Nobody knows it
No, nobody knows it
Nobody, nobody
Sitting and the nights are lonely

Nights are lonely, days so sad
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

Nobody knows it
No, nobody but me

Nights are lonely, days so sad
I just keep thinking about the love that we had




Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Boyzone's song Nobody Knows express the deep pain and loneliness of a person who has lost their lover. The singer pretends to be glad that their lover has left them, but in reality, they are hurting inside, and they feel like no one knows about it. The four walls of their room are closing in on them, and they are dying inside. The singer feels like a clown who is putting on a show, masking their true emotions. They carry a smile even when they are broken in two, and they are nobody without someone like their lover. The nights are lonely and days are sad, and they keep thinking about the love they had. They are missing their lover, and nobody knows about their pain except them.


The singer wishes they had said the things they needed to say before their lover left them. They question how they could have let their angel get away, and now their world is tumbling down. They can see it so clearly, but their lover is not around. They lie awake at night, screaming, hoping their lover would hear them. They feel like their heart has been torn apart like a jigsaw puzzle, and a billion words couldn't express how they feel. They know that even if a million years pass, they will still love their lover.


Line by Line Meaning

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
Even though you left, I act happy and okay


These four walls closing more every day
Stuck inside with my thoughts, feeling more trapped each day


Now I'm dying inside
My heart is hurting and I feel like I'm fading away


Nobody knows it but me
No one knows how much I'm struggling, I keep it hidden


Like a clown, I put on a show
I act like everything's fine, but it's all for show


The pain is real even if nobody knows
Even though I hide it, my pain is still there


That I'm crying inside
My emotions are overwhelming and I'm tearing up inside


Why didn't I say
I regret not speaking up or expressing myself


The things I needed to say
I wish I had told you how much I loved you


How could I let my angel get away
I can't believe I let someone as amazing as you slip away


Now my world is just
My life is falling apart


Tumbling down
Everything is falling apart and crashing down


I can see it so clearly
My vision of the future is bleak and dark


But you don't know we're around
You're not here to see how much I'm struggling


Nights are lonely, days so sad
I feel alone and lost without you


And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Memories of our love keep running through my mind


Now I'm missing you
I can't stop thinking about you and wishing you were here


I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
Even though I'm hurting, I try to appear happy


And I'm nobody without someone like you
You were everything to me, and now that you're gone, I feel empty


I'm trembling inside
My anxiety and fear are taking over and I'm shaking


I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I can't sleep, my mind is racing, and it's late at night


I'm screaming at night if I thought you would hear me
If I thought you could still hear me, I would scream out for you


My heart is calling you
My heart aches for you and I wish you were here


And nobody knows it but me
I'm keeping all these thoughts and feelings to myself


How broken I get
I fall apart and feel shattered without you


You could ask my heart
My heart knows how much it hurts and still loves you


But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
My heart is in pieces and it's hard to put back together


A billion words couldn't say
There are no words to describe my feelings for you


Just how I feel
I can't explain how much I miss and love you


A million years from now you?ll know it
Even in the future, I'll still feel the same


I'll be loving you still
I'll continue to love you forever


Nobody knows it
I keep all these feelings hidden


No, nobody knows it
No one knows how much I'm struggling


Sitting and the nights are lonely
I spend my nights alone and feeling lonely


Nobody knows it but me
I'm keeping everything inside and not sharing with anyone

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls closing more every day

Nobody knows it but me

Like a clown, I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows

And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say

Nights are lonely, days so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm trembling inside
And nobody knows it but me

I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I'm screaming at night if I thought you would hear me
My heart is calling you
And nobody knows it but me

How broken I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A billion words couldn't say

A million years from now you'll know it
I'll be loving you still

Nights are lonely, days so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

Nobody knows it
No, nobody knows it
Nobody, nobody
Sitting and the nights are lonely

Nights are lonely, days so sad
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me

Nobody knows it
No, nobody but me

Nights are lonely, days so sad
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
Now I'm missing you
Nobody knows it but me
