Lyrics
[verse]
Grew up in the spotlight before I knew my name
Everybody watching but nobody saw the pain
I had all the things that people say you need
Still I felt an emptiness that none of them could feed
[verse]
Missed the birthdays, missed the simple days
Traded all my childhood for the bright stage lights and praise
Everybody wanted something from the boy they saw
Nobody asked what was happening underneath it all
[chorus]
Everybody knows my name now but nobody knows my story
Everybody sees the trophies but nobody sees the worry
I've been so lonely in a crowd, so lonely on the biggest stage
Wish somebody could've told me how to turn the page
I'm still just a kid who's lonely
[verse]
Now I'm learning how to sit inside the quiet
Learning how to heal instead of run and try it
No more hiding pain behind the biggest smile
Just being honest, one true day at a while
[chorus]
Everybody knows my name now but nobody knows my story
Everybody sees the trophies but nobody sees the worry
I've been so lonely in a crowd, so lonely on the biggest stage
Wish somebody could've told me how to turn the page
I'm still just a kid who's lonely
[bridge]
If I could talk to my younger self right now
I'd say it's alright to not know how
You'll find your peace, you'll find your ground
Even when the whole world crowds around
[chorus]
Everybody knows my name now but nobody knows my story
Everybody sees the trophies but nobody sees the worry
I've been so lonely in a crowd, so lonely on the biggest stage
Wish somebody could've told me how to turn the page
I'm still just a kid who's lonely
