Nobody Knows
Indigo Girlz; Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows, no
Nobody likes
Nobody likes to lose that inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No, no
Nobody knows
No
Baby (aaah)
Oh, the secret's safe with me (aaah)
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be (aaah)
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown (aaah)
And I've lost my way back home? (aaah)
I think nobody knows, no
Said nobody knows
Nobody cares (uuuh)
It's win or lose, not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows
No, no
Nobody knows, no, no, no, no
Baby (aaah)
Oh, the secret's safe with me (aaah)
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be (aaah)
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown (aaah)
And I've lost my way back home? (aaah)
And, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody knows, no (aaah)
No, no, no, no, no
Tomorrow I'll be there, my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No, no, no
Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
Me

Nobody knows
I keep my struggles and pain to myself
Nobody knows but me
I don't share my secrets with anyone
That I sometimes cry
I'm not always as strong as people think
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
I wish I could avoid confronting my problems
When my tears start to fall
I can't always control my emotions
I peek out from behind these walls
I try to hide my struggles from others
I think nobody knows
I believe no one truly understands my struggles
Nobody likes
No one wants to lose their sense of self
The one I used to hear before my life
The voice that guided me before I faced adversity
Made a choice
Changed my path
But I think nobody knows
No one fully comprehends my inner turmoil
Baby
My confidant
Oh, the secret's safe with me
You can trust me with your secrets
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
I'll always be here for you
And, baby, don't it feel like I'm all alone?
Sometimes I feel isolated from others
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
Who will stand by me in my darkest hour?
And I've lost my way back home?
When life gets tough, where do I turn?
Nobody cares
Sometimes it seems like no one values me
It's win or lose, not how you play the game
Only the outcome of my struggles matter
And the road to darkness has a way
Challenges can lead to negative emotions
Of always knowing my name
I often feel consumed by my struggles
No, no
It's true

No one understands my emotions
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
Only I truly comprehend my emotions
And the world is asleep
When no one else is around
I think nobody knows
Others don't truly understand me
Nobody knows
I keep my struggles and pain to myself
Nobody knows but me
I don't share my secrets with anyone
Me
I am alone with my struggles

I remember listing to this in 8th grade (2008) It hit me on such a deep level and still does, what's really sad is how much it applies to the current President and our situation.

I'd be interested in heating a 2020 rewrite. Not much would change while it feels like everything has.
