Yeah
You never know just by looking
But some of us fight like hell just to stay calm
I walk in cool night and smile wide
But inside it's a war I can't destroy
Heart racing with a poker face
Wet in fear that I can't erase
People say you good, yeah, I lie smooth
Can't explain this feeling that I can't prove
It's like drowning in a room full of death
Screaming loud, but nobody's there
Calm on the outside, storming within
Fighting off thoughts I don't let in
They see strong, but I feel weak
They hear peace, but I barely speak
Yeah, I smile like I got no pain
But I'm riding with a runaway train
Acting like I'm fine, but I'm breaking inside
That's what it's like when you calm on the outside
I don't see rats, I face the floor
Mind racing like a thousand doors, ain't no scars
Just tight-lipped fear, so I drown in the music or a midnight beer
I ain't looking for pity, just want some space
Where I ain't gotta fake this face
To the youth out there who hold it in
I see you, I've been where you've been
To the kid in class with a heavy heart
To the man at work who's falling apart
To the girl in the mirror with that tear-stained pride
You're not weak, you're just calm on the outside
Calm on the outside, my hands shake
Acting like peace, but I barely breathe
Still pushing, still showing up bold
While anxiety's burning in a chokehold
You seek control, but I'm losing grip
Trying to breathe with a bite on my lip, but I ain't folding
And I'm here, I survive, even if I'm calm (calm) on the outside
If you feel it
Ooh, oh
You never know just by looking
But some of us fight like hell just to stay calm
I walk in cool night and smile wide
But inside it's a war I can't destroy
Heart racing with a poker face
Wet in fear that I can't erase
People say you good, yeah, I lie smooth
Can't explain this feeling that I can't prove
It's like drowning in a room full of death
Screaming loud, but nobody's there
Calm on the outside, storming within
Fighting off thoughts I don't let in
They see strong, but I feel weak
They hear peace, but I barely speak
Yeah, I smile like I got no pain
But I'm riding with a runaway train
Acting like I'm fine, but I'm breaking inside
That's what it's like when you calm on the outside
I don't see rats, I face the floor
Mind racing like a thousand doors, ain't no scars
Just tight-lipped fear, so I drown in the music or a midnight beer
I ain't looking for pity, just want some space
Where I ain't gotta fake this face
To the youth out there who hold it in
I see you, I've been where you've been
To the kid in class with a heavy heart
To the man at work who's falling apart
To the girl in the mirror with that tear-stained pride
You're not weak, you're just calm on the outside
Calm on the outside, my hands shake
Acting like peace, but I barely breathe
Still pushing, still showing up bold
While anxiety's burning in a chokehold
You seek control, but I'm losing grip
Trying to breathe with a bite on my lip, but I ain't folding
And I'm here, I survive, even if I'm calm (calm) on the outside
If you feel it
Ooh, oh
