Lyrics

Yeah
I don't flinch now, I don't break
Funny how strong I look when I fake
I built this shell 'round what I feel
So tight it almost starts to heal
No more cracks for them to see
No more "what's wrong?" — just "look at me"
I wear control like it's a crown
But it just helps to keep me down
I'm bulletproof when I don't care
But hollow's heavy when it's there
You think I'm safe 'cause I don't shake
But silence isn't peace, it's just a break
I'm in a shell, and it fits too well
Nobody asks, so I don't tell
If I look strong, then I am, right?
Don't need your pity, I'll be fine
I'm in a shell, and it makes me high
I fake my calm, and I feel divine
But it's not strength, it's just defense
Still, no one ever sees the difference
(Oh-ohh, oh-ohh)
Still, no one ever sees the difference
I stopped explaining how I feel
It made me cold, but also real
Now people say I've grown so much
But I just swapped the light for touch
They say I glow when I don't cry
But it's just masks and better lies
I'd rather burn than break apart
So I just call it "getting smart"
And when they praise the calm I fake
I smile like I'm not close to break
I'm in a shell, and it keeps me sane
No highs, no lows, just sweet refrain
If I don't care, I never fall
I built a wall, and now I'm tall
I'm in a shell, and it looks like peace
But I don't dream, I just repeat
This isn't strength, it's just defense
Still, no one ever sees the difference
(Ohhh-ohhh, ohhh-ohhh)
Still, no one ever sees the difference
Call it power, call it growth
But I don't feel much — I just coast
Call it armor, call it pride
But I miss the part I left inside
I'm in a shell, and it fits too well
Nobody asks, so I don't tell
If I look fine, then maybe I am
Or maybe I'm just not who I began
I'm in a shell, and it makes me high
Can't cry, can't love, can't say goodbye
It's not strength, it's just defense
Still, no one ever sees the difference
Still no one…
…sees the difference
Ohhhhh
Ohhh
Still no one…
…sees the difference
