No one knows what I’ve been going through
I make it look so much better than it is
I’m so convincing, my smile and my game face
No one, no one knows…
No one knows how hard this is for me
They can’t relate to this battle in my heart
They don’t even know the war is waging
No one knows…
But then a voice says to me
Is there really nobody?
There is One who has been here too
Who has seen even harder times
There is One who has been here
One who’s been tempted
Suffered worse than I…
No one knows about the things I’ve done
My firewalled concealments of the places I‘ve gone
What would they think if they knew the truth
No one, no one knows
No one knows the dark side of me
My Anakin keeps losin’ to the Vader within
I do what I hate and don’t do what I want
No one knows
Still a voice says to me
Is there really nobody?
There is One who has been here too
Who has seen even harder times
There is One who has been here
One who’s been tempted
Suffered worse than I…
No one cares about the heartache I bear
They’re all just too busy in their own worlds to care
They don’t give a rip—they don’t even dare
No one cares…
But still a voice says to me
Is there really nobody?
There is One who has been here too
Who has seen even harder times
There is One who has been here
One who’s been tempted
Suffered worse than I…
So is it true, how the story goes
That Another One cares—Another One knows?
He’s been thru it all, and His faithfulness shows
That Someone, Someone cares
