The Anonymous Ones

SZA

Ever look at all the people
Seem to know exactly how to be
(How to be, how to be now, how to be)
You think they don't need piles of prescriptions
To function naturally
(Functioning natural)
Take a look and you might just catch it
Stay a minute more
(Minute more, minute more now, minute more)
There's a little moment after the sunny smile
That eyes fall to the floor
(To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor)

And then truth starts peaking through (peaking through)
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too

The anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bury, they bur-)
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
(Anymore)

Spot the girl who stays in motion
Spins so fast so she won't fall
(World's spinning so fast, spinning so fast)
She's build a wall of her achievements
To keep out the question
Without it is she worth anything at all?

And then truth starts peaking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too

The anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
(They bury, they bury, they bur-)
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore

The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
(Ooo, anonymous)
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
(Don't wanna be anonymous anymore)
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not
Heavy, heavy

Anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All the anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side
And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
