(Intro)
Yeahβ¦
Sometimes the hardest place to escape fromβ¦
is your own mind.
(Verse 1)
Playing hide and seek with the things I canβt erase,
your shadowβs still the closest thing I feel these days.
Unrequited love, yeah, the quietest war,
smiling on the outside while Iβm breaking at the core.
I run through the city but Iβm stuck in the same place,
chasing old memories I can never replace.
The moon watches over me, silent in the night,
painting your name in the dark with a broken light.
They said time heals everything, maybe they were wrong,
βcause every night without you feels like the same old song.
I tried to escape from the world inside my head,
but every road I take leads me back to you instead.
(Pre-Chorus)
So I close my eyes when the whole world fades,
sometimes darkness feels safer than the light of day.
I hide my feelings where nobody can see,
only the moon knows whatβs happening to me.
(Chorus)
Iβm running underneath the moonlight,
where my pain turns into a melody.
Playing hide and seek with my own heart,
looking for you in everyone I meet.
Unrequited love taught me how to breathe alone,
I drown my emotions in a world of my own.
I escape reality just to feel okay,
but the morning always brings me back to yesterday.
(Verse 2)
How many times did I say, βIβm over youβ?
Then one little memory makes the whole thing new.
I turn my scars into verses, my pain into sound,
βcause some broken pieces canβt be put back down.
City lights shining, but my soul stays grey,
surrounded by people, still feeling miles away.
Youβre not just my past, youβre the story unfinished,
the one missing page that my heart still wishes.
If I could go back, maybe Iβd say more,
maybe Iβd fight harder before you walked out the door.
Now I write these lines instead of losing sleep,
every word is a promise of the love I couldnβt keep.
(Bridge)
The moon shines on everybodyβ¦
Maybe youβre looking at it right now too.
Maybe weβre not that far apartβ¦
Maybe itβs just the silence between us.
(Final Chorus)
Iβm running underneath the moonlight,
where every tear becomes a memory.
Playing hide and seek with destiny,
trying to find the person I used to be.
Unrequited love made me who I am,
laughing out loud while Iβm breaking again.
Reality fades when the night comes alive,
and I chase your lightβ¦
even knowing youβll never be mine.
(Outro)
Yeahβ¦
Some people leave your lifeβ¦
but they never leave your soul.
