Lyrics Sam Tsui – Underneath

Somewhere buried deep below
The part of you, you wanna show
Is someone nobody sees.

You dig a hole high your heart

But I know better.
And I can’t let your little room
Be where you always stay.

I know they’ve got you so afraid.
You put your faith in masks you’ve made.
Can you trust enough to peel them all away?

Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
And the smile I don’t believe
Is the you I wanna see, underneath.

Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
I know someone’s hiding there.
Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.

Everyday the same routine
Of hiding what you really mean
Behind the things they wanna hear.

You keep the words you wish you’d said
Inside a box beneath your bed
Like maybe that’ll make them disappear.

But you know better.
And you can’t let your little room
Be where you always stay.

Cause everything you’re scared to show,
Is beautiful. But you’ll never know
If you keep them locked away.

Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
And the smile I don’t believe
Is the you I wanna see, underneath.

Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
I know someone’s hiding there.
Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.

What’s the point of living underground?
You know that’s not a life at all.

So you’re scared of your scars,
But you’re perfect as you are.
You know better.

Oh…

Underneath, all the secrets that you keep,
And the smile I don’t believe
Is the you I wanna see, underneath.

Underneath, all the faces that you wear,
I know someone’s hiding there.
Cause the you I wanna see, is underneath, underneath.
