[Verse 1]
I should be happy, I should be fine,
But my heart won’t listen, it won’t fall in line.
He says the right words, holds me tight,
But it’s your arms I dream of every night.
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your laugh, I see your face,
And suddenly I’m in another place.
But I can’t tell you what I feel,
So I just pretend it isn’t real.
[Chorus]
If I could love you, I’d never let go,
You’re the truth that I can’t show.
But I’m the silence you can’t hear,
The hidden wish I hold so near.
If I could tell you, I swear I would,
Turn this longing into something good.
But I’m just lightning you can’t see,
Silent thunder, inside me.
[Verse 2]
I laugh with him, but it feels so wrong,
Like I’m singing someone else’s song.
You touched my skin, you knew my soul,
Now I’m with him, but I’m not whole.
[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my lip, I play my part,
But you’re the echo in my heart.
And every night, it’s still the same,
A whispered prayer I can’t explain.
[Chorus]
If I could love you, I’d never let go,
You’re the truth that I can’t show.
But I’m the silence you can’t hear,
The hidden wish I hold so near.
If I could tell you, I swear I would,
Turn this longing into something good.
But I’m just lightning you can’t see,
Silent thunder, inside me.
[Bridge]
He’ll never know the way you did,
The secrets in me I always hid.
I chose the cage, I lost the key,
Now I’m stuck with this memory.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
If I could love you, I’d never let go,
You’re the truth that I can’t show.
But I’m the silence you can’t hear,
The hidden wish I hold so near.
If I could tell you, I swear I would,
Turn this longing into something good.
But I’m just lightning you can’t see,
Silent thunder, inside me.
