No one knows me
No one hears me
No one sees me anymore
They think they know me
But they don't know me
I keep my life to myself

When did I build
These walls around me?
Will there ever be
Someone who can save me?
Who will open up my heart?
Who will break through the ice
and let my river flow?
Who will know?

No one hears these
Screams of pain I cry,
And know one sees,
The fears that bind me down.
Know one can even tell
I'm spin'n round, and round, and round, and round

When did I build
These walls around me?
Will there ever be
Someone who can save me?
Who will open up my heart?
Who will break through the ice
and let my river flow?
Who will know?

Who will break down these towering walls?
Who will melt the ice that keeps me still?
Who will open up my heart,
That I've,
Locked away?
Oh, it's locked away.

Who will
Know?

The author's comments:
Well, like I said.. While I was playing around with some chords, I started to think about how everyone at school says they know me. But that's just it, all they do is say that they know me, but realy no one does. Even though I'm around some of them almost 24/7 it seems like no one knows the real me, and I began to wonder if anyone ever would. Don't get me wrong, my friends are awsome, but half the time the "me" they talk about is a stranger. Weird, right?

Hey guys. It's been a while since i submitted these lyrics, and I just wanted to let you know about a change. After the bridge at the end of the song where it says "Oh, it's locked away" you repeat the chours again. After the last chours is when you sing the last three words "Who will know?"

This is really good. It’s easy to relate to, and interesting to read. Keep writing, because this is really good. You should check out some of my stuff. I think you would like it.
