"When Nobody's Watching" lyrics

"When Nobody's Watching"

Project your problems onto me
Tell you it'll all be fine
Promise I'll be your therapy
Use up all my empathy
Take all my energy

Guess I'm just the good guy
Yeah, they say that we can't live unless we live a lie
I wanna see myself but see it through your eyes
Blurry world drowning in my own cries

Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody is watching?
Am I the same?
Going insane?

You're only gonna see what you want to
Even if I share both sides
Some things I gotta get through
And I hate to break it to you
I'm not the person you knew

Guess I had to compromise
I'm not the type of person you should idolize
I wanna see myself but see it through your eyes
Blurry world drowning in my own cries

Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody is watching?
Am I the same?
Going insane?
Am I the same?
Going insane?

Think I switch up when you put your eyes on me
Punching bag, you know there's no symmetry
I am here to fulfill your fantasy
