The Anonymous Ones (SZA Version) - From The “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

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 prescription to function naturally
(Functioning naturally)

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)

The truth starts peekin' through
They don't lie 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 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 what we're hopin' for
I don't want to be anonymous, I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't want to anonymous anymore

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

The truth starts peekin' through
They don't lie 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 that they bury
(They bury, they bury, they bury)
I don't want to be anonymous, I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't want to be anonymous anymore

The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But, that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But, that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But, that doesn't mean they're not heavy, heavy

The anonymous ones never let you see the ache that they carry
(They carry, they carry, they carry)
All the anonymous ones never name the quiet that they bury
Keep on keeping secrets that they know they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is that they have a secret side?
And to know, to know we're alone is what we're hopin' for
I don't want to be anonymous, I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't want to be anonymous anymore
