Verse 1
I’ve been the shadow in my own story
A stranger walkin’ through my skin
People see the fire and the fury
But not the quiet breakin’ within
I learned silence before I learned speaking
I learned leaving before I learned stayin’
But you read the pages I stopped reading
Like you already knew what they were saying
⸻
Pre-Hook
And I don’t know how you do it
But somehow you see through it
⸻
Hook
If the world saw me like you do
I’d be more than the battles I’ve been through
More than the thunder I still run from
More than the damage I’ve overcome
You look at me and see something true
Maybe even something I outgrew
If the world saw me like you do
Maybe I could see it too
⸻
Verse 2
I used to build walls out of doubt
Kept everyone safely outside
But you walked in quiet, unannounced
And sat with every part I’d tried to hide
You didn’t call it broken —
You called it proof I lived
You didn’t ask for perfect
You just asked me to forgive
⸻
Pre-Hook
And I don’t know how you stay
When I push everyone else away
⸻
Hook
If the world saw me like you do
I’d be more than the storms I’ve crawled through
More than the nights I lost myself
More than the lies I used to tell
You look at me like I’m brand new
Like the past can’t decide my view
If the world saw me like you do
Maybe I could see it too
⸻
Bridge
Maybe faith is just borrowed until it’s owned
Maybe love is just truth finally shown
Maybe the hardest fight we ever start
Is believing what someone else sees in our heart
⸻
Final Hook
If the world saw me like you do
Maybe I’d believe it too
And if scars can shine like stars at night
Then maybe I’m someone worth the light
You look at me and see something true
Something I never knew
If the world saw me like you do
Maybe I could see it too
