[Intro]
(Don't look too close...)
(You might see everything I hide...)
(Or maybe... you'll finally see me.)
[Verse 1]
I got good at pretending,
got good at wearing a smile.
Got good at saying "I'm okay"
when I'm falling apart inside.
I built walls out of memories,
out of every goodbye.
Told myself I didn't need anyone
to see behind my eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
Because what if I'm too much?
What if I'm not enough?
What if the parts I hate the most
are the parts nobody loves?
[Chorus]
I'm the girl I hide,
the one I keep away.
The one who breaks in silence
but still gets up each day.
I'm the storm and the sunshine,
the fire and the rain.
I'm every scar I've carried,
every loss I've survived again.
And maybe I'm not perfect...
maybe I'm not easy to understand.
But I'm learning that I'm worth it...
Even when I don't believe I am.
[Verse 2]
I know I push away
the ones who try to stay.
I know I test the love I need
because I'm scared it'll fade.
I apologise for breathing,
for needing someone close.
I say I don't need saving...
but I'm tired of being alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I don't need fixing.
Maybe I was never broken.
Maybe all these hidden pieces
were just waiting to be open.
[Chorus]
I'm the girl I hide,
the one behind the door.
The one who learned to fight alone
and forgot what love was for.
I'm the chaos and the calm,
the question and the answer.
I'm the girl who kept surviving...
when she thought she couldn't stand up.
And maybe I'm not perfect...
maybe I'll always have scars.
But the pieces that I buried...
are the pieces that made me who I am.
[Bridge]
So if you see the darkness,
don't turn away.
If you hear my silence,
stay anyway.
Because underneath the fear,
underneath the doubt...
there's a girl who's been waiting
to finally come out.
[Chorus]
I'm the girl I hide...
but I'm learning to be seen.
Not the version everyone wants...
but the woman I've always been.
I don't need to be flawless.
I don't need to lose my pain.
Every broken little piece of me...
helped me find my way.
And maybe I'm still healing...
maybe I'll always be.
But for the first time in forever...
I'm learning to love me.
[Outro]
(Don't look away...)
(I'm still here...)
(I'm finally learning to stay.)
Beexii
