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

Ever looked 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 catch it

Stay a minute more

(Minute more, minute more now, minute more)

There's a little moment after the sunny smile

Their eyes fall to the floor

(To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor)

And then truth starts peeking through (peeking through)

They're a lot like me and you

They can fake a smile too well

The anonymous ones

Never let you see the hate they carry

(They carry, they carry, they carry)

All those anonymous ones

Never name the quiet pain they bury

(They bury, they bear, they bear)

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 built a wall of her achievements

To keep out the question, without it, is she worth anything at all?

Then truth starts peeking through

They're a lot like me and you

They can fake a smile too

The anonymous ones

Never let you see the hate they carry

(They carry, they carry, they carry)

All those anonymous ones

Never name the quiet pain they bury

(They bury, they bear, they bear)

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

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

Anonymous ones

Never let you see the hate they carry

(They carry, they carry, they carry)

All those 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
